Liberal Citizens Action (in Spanish: Acción Ciudadana Liberal) was a political party in Spain at the time of the transition to democracy. ACL emerged out of the Liberal Federation (Federación Liberal), an alliance of five parties, in 1977. The president of the party was José María Areilza, Minister of Foreign Affairs 1975-1976. Areilza had left Adolfo Suarez's Democratic Center Union (UCD).

In the 1979 elections ACL was part of the Democratic Coalition, together with Manuel Fraga's Popular Alliance (AP). Areilza was elected deputy from Madrid.

Soon thereafter ACL merged into AP.
