This article is about the Cypriot newspaper. For the Greek political party, see Liberal Party (Greece).

Phileleftheros (Greek: Ό Φιλελεύθερος, meaning "The Liberal") is the largest newspaper (by circulation) in Cyprus, with about 26,000 copies daily.[1] Established in 1951, it is also the oldest still-circulating Greek paper on the island.

Over the years it has expanded into a publishing company and has released several magazines (including the Cyprus edition of Cosmopolitan), as well as recently launching its own radio station, Radio Sfera.

In a newspaper scene otherwise dominated by political parties, Phileleftheros prides itself as being independent and not under the influence of a particular political party.
