The Casino Party (in German Casino-Fraktion or simply Casino) was a moderate liberal fraction within the Frankfurt Parliament formed on June 25, 1848. Like most parliamentary fractions at the time, its name was a reference to the usual meeting place of its members in Frankfurt am Main. Casino was the largest and most influential fraction at Paulskirche. Its members were for the most part national liberals.
