Liberty Movement (in Spanish: Movimiento Libertad), was a political party in Peru founded in 1987 by groups opposing the nationalization of the bank sector.

It was first formed in 1988 together with Popular Action and Christian People's Party, FREDEMO. In 1990 FREDEMO launched the Movimiento Libertad led by Mario Vargas Llosa as its presidential candidate.

Later it dissolved itself.

Many years later, a group of former member of this party founded in Lima, on April 2003, a new political movement called Libertarian Party of Peru (in spanish Partido Liberal del Peru). Its founding members are Jose Luis Tapia, Humberto Perez, Fernando Barrios, Myriam Ortiz, and Alberto Mansueti.

Now, this party is in a period of re constitution.
