Liberals (Liberaalit) is a free market liberal party in Finland. Founded in 1965 as a reunification of the Finnish People's Party (Suomen Kansanpuolue) and Free-minded League (Vapaamielisten Liitto). Originally named Liberal People's Party (Liberaalinen Kansanpuolue), it restyled its name as Liberals (Liberaalit) in the party congress on February 26 - February 27 2000. The change of name was registered by the Register of Associations on March 14 2001.

The party has not had any seats in the Parliament of Finland since 1995. Its vote share was 0.2% in the 1999 elections, 0.3% in 2003, and 0.1% in 2007. It was removed from the party registry in 2007 after the failure to gain a seat in two consecutive parliamentary elections.
