The Liberal Party (자유당, 自由黨) is a political party in South Korean established in 1951 by Syngman Rhee.

As the 1952 Presidential Elections neared, Rhee made public his intention to organize a party during his August 15th Speech in 1951[1] . Rhee called Yi Bum Seok, then the embassador in China, and charged him with creating the Liberal Party. Yi used the strong organizational base of "Chosun Youth Nationalist League" as a starting point and incorporated the major five organizations: "Korean Citizens Council", "Korean Federation of Labor" "Peasant Federation", "Korean Council of Wives" as temporary sub-organizations under the Liberal Party.
