The Liberal Forum (German: Liberales Forum, LiF) was a centrist,^[1]^[2]^[3] liberal^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] political party in Austria. The party was active from February 1993 to January 2014, when the party merged into NEOS – The New Austria.^[8]

A member of the Liberal International and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party, it was founded as a classical liberal split from the FPÖ due to its right-wing populist stances^[9] and was placed on the libertarian/post-materialist on a two-axis political spectrum, alongside The Greens – The Green Alternative, in a 2000 comparative analysis among Austrian political parties.^[10]
