The Free Besmenian Citizen's Party (Besmenian: Freie Besmenische Bürgerpartei, FBBP) is a liberal party in Besmenia.

The FBBP was founded in 1930 under the name Free Liberals of Besmenia, after the Besmenian Democratic Party and the Besmenian Freedom Party merged into a common party. As early as the 1928 East Besmenian federal election, both parties stood for election as a party alliance under the name Free Liberals of Besmenia's. In 1940 it was renamed to Free Besmenian Citzen's Party. While the FBBP pursued a right-wing liberal and libertarian policy from its foundation until the mid-1960s, the transformation into a more centric-liberal party began in 1964 under the party leader Jürgen Rothmann. Between 1964 and 1993 the party had the suffix The Liberals .The party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in Besmenia along with the Besmenian People's Party. The FBBP has been represented in the Federal Chamber since 1930.
