Liberals (Finnish: Liberaalit) is a free market liberal party in Finland. Founded in 1965 as a reunification of the People's Party of Finland and Liberal League. Originally named Liberal People's Party (Finnish: Liberaalinen Kansanpuolue), it restyled its name as Liberals (Liberaalit) in 2000.
Liberals was removed from the party registry in 2007 after the failure to gain a seat in two consecutive parliamentary elections.
