The Garden Gnome Liberation Front (GGLF) is a French organisation that claims to stand for the liberation of garden gnomes. It also claims members in a number of other countries throughout the world.

The Garden Gnome Liberation Front gained worldwide attention in the period 1997-2000. The leader of that group was charged in absentia with stealing over 150 garden gnomes over a period of several years. The group struck again under the guise of the Garden Gnome Liberation Front during a garden show in 2000. [1][2]

The Organisation has subsequently gained sporadic media attention, such as the case in the central Limousin region of France[3]
