The Liberal Democratic Party of Belarus (LDPB, Belarusian: Ліберальна-дэмакратычная партыя Беларусі, romanizedLibieraĺna-demakratyčnaja partyja Bielarusi, Russian: Либерально-демократическая партия Беларуси, romanizedLiberal'no-demokraticheskaya partiya Belarusi) is a political party in Belarus. It was created in 1994 as the Belarusian successor of the Liberal Democratic Party of the Soviet Union.

Despite claiming to be a "constructive and democratic opposition" the party de facto supports the current president, Alexander Lukashenko (much like the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia with Vladimir Putin).[2]

In the legislative elections, 13–17 October 2004, the party won 1 out of 110 seats.[3] Its candidate in the presidential election of 2006, Sergei Gaidukevich, won 3.5% of the vote.[4]

Party leader Gaidukevich was a member of the House of Representatives from 2004 to 2008.[5] He was later a member of the Council of the Republic from 2016 to 2019.[6]
