The German Freeminded Party (Deutsche Freisinnige Partei) was a German liberal party, founded as a result of the merger of the German Progress Party and Liberal Union in 5 March 1884.

In the 1884 election, held 28 October 1884, it received only 17.6% of the votes, representing a drop of 3,6% from the combined parties' results in the previous 1881 election. The main beneficiaries of this defection were the conservative forces supporting Otto von Bismarck.

In 1893 the party was split into the Freeminded People's Party and the Freeminded Union.
