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

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 Youth (IFLRY) and the European Liberal Youth (LYMEC).
