The National Front Party (Arabic: حزب الجبهة الوطنية, Hizb Al-Jabha Al-Wataniyya) is a political party in Libya, formed in May 2012.

Its ideology is considered liberal and progressive, and Libya Herald writer George Grant described the party as "arguably the most liberal-leaning of all in Congress."
