Europe of Nations and Freedom (ENF; French: Europe des nations et des libertés, ENL) was a far-right[16][17][18][19] political group in the European Parliament launched on 15 June 2015. The group was the smallest within the European Parliament during the eighth European Parliament term with 37 members. The largest faction in the group was the French National Rally with 17 MEPs. Twenty-eight members were part of the Movement for a Europe of Nations and Freedom (MENF), with the remaining nine MEPs being their ideological allies. The ENF was the parliamentary group of the Movement for a Europe of Nations and Freedom although some MEPs were without any European affiliations.

The group was replaced for the ninth European Parliament on 13 June 2019 by the Identity and Democracy group.[20]
