The National Coalition of Lyoan Opposition Forces (abbreviated NCLOF), is an alliance of twelve rebel groups opposed to the government of Lyoa. It was formed on March 23, 2017, after a meeting between leadership of rebel factions on the idea of forming a coalition.

This alliance combines the efforts of twelve rebel groups in eastern Lyoa. It was formed as an attempt to unify moderate rebel factions that were in opposition to the Lyoan government.
The NCLOF is composed of the following groups:
