The Liberal Party (Delkoran: Liberale Parti) is a political party in Delkora. It is one of Delkora's oldest parties, and a major force in Delkoran politics. Its leader Adric Azengaard is the current Chancellor of Delkora.

With roots dating back to the 19th century, the Liberals were one of the two major parties of the first party system, opposing the Conservative Party. They were a big tent party, supported by farmers, workers, and the middle class. The party suffered a decline after National Labor displaced it as the largest left-wing party, and it served as a centrist kingmaker during the second party system.

Factional conflict between classical liberals and social democrats culminated in the 1940 split. The classical liberals split off to form the Reform Party, leaving the Liberal Party in the hands of the social democrats. It was transformed into a solidly centre-left social democratic party, becoming close allies of National Labor. During this period, it gained a notable geolibertarian element, making it a competitor for the Agrarian Party in rural areas.

The Liberal Party won a plurality in the Chamber of Representatives in 2018, and is currently in office as part of a traffic light coalition with National Labor and the Greens. At the state level, it currently heads the governments of Førelskov, Norvia, and Vassengård.
