The Liberals–Democrats–Radicals (Italian: Liberali–Demoratici–Radicali) was a social-liberal political alliance in Italy.

It was formed for the 1919 general election, arriving third after the Socialist Party and the People's Party, with 15.9% and 96 seats, doing particularly well in Piedmont and Southern Italy, especially in Sicily, the home-region of party's leader and former Prime Minister Vittorio Emanuele Orlando.[1]
