Renewed Democratic Liberty (Spanish: Libertad Democrática Renovada, LIDER, sometimes also translated as Democratic Freedom Revival^[4] or Renewed Democratic Liberation)^[5] was a centre-right political party in Guatemala.^[5]

It was founded as a parliamentary group by defectors from the then governing National Unity of Hope party of President Álvaro Colom in 2008.^[5] It was officially registered as a political party in 2010. At the end of the 2007-2011 legislature, the Independent Renewed Democratic Liberty parliamentary bloc included 25 out of the 158 deputies in the Congress of the Republic,^[6] where it formed a parliamentary alliance with the conservative Grand National Alliance (GANA).

On July 25, 2016 the party was cancelled by the Supreme Electoral Court due to constant breaking of the Electoral and Political Parties Law.^[7]
