The Popular Movement for National Liberation (Spanish: Movimiento Popular de Liberación Nacional, MPLN) was a left-wing political party in Bolivia.

In 1972, Ramiro Velasco Romero split from the Revolutionary Left Movement and founded the Popular Movement for National Liberation. [1]

In 1978, 1979, and 1980 the MPLN took part in an electoral coalition Democratic and Popular Union backing Hernán Siles Zuazo. [2]

In 1983, the Popular Movement for National Liberation merged with the Socialist Party-One. [3]
