The Liberal Youth of Sweden (Liberala ungdomsförbundet, abbreviated LUF) is the youth wing of the Swedish Liberal People's Party.

The Liberal Youth of Sweden was formed in 1934, with Bertil Ohlin as the first president. It traces its roots back to Verdandi, a radical student organisation from the 1880:s. Since 1961 they publish the magazine Liebling - Liberal Youth.

The Liberal Youth of Sweden has a long tradition of international cooperation and is a full member of the International Federation of Liberal & Radical Youth (IFLRY) and the European Liberal Youth (LYMEC).
