The Liberal magazine is a quarterly literary and political publication "devoted to promoting liberalism around the world". The Liberal was first founded in 1821 by the Romantic poets Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and Leigh Hunt, and was relaunched in July 2004 ‒ 180 years after it ceased publication ‒ "to rehabilitate Romantic Liberalism and reinvigorate the public sphere".

Contributors to the first ten issues include Harold Bloom, Helen Suzman, Christopher Hitchens, Garry Kasparov, Germaine Greer, Ariel Dorfman, Mario Petrucci, Elaine Showalter, Matthew Parris, Martin Rees, Robert Reich, Julia Kristeva, Clive James, Slavoj Žižek and Simon Sebag Montefiore.
