The Ostric Liberal Party (Ostric: Òstrskô Starna Liberalnô, ÒSL; Weranic: Ostrische Liberale Partei, OLP) is an liberal party in Ostry, a free state of Werania. Founded in 1990 by lawyer Arne Gotti, the Liberal Party was one of the main parties on the island in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before collapsing in 2004, and eventually exiting the Dorada in 2008. Since then, it has seen a small resurgence, returning to parliamentary politics in 2016, but remains on the marginals of Ostric politics.

Ideologically, the Liberal Party supports the continued union between Ostry and Werania, while also demanding a "special status" for Ostry, often under the terms of an autonomous community. Domestically, the party is considered in the political centre, supporting moderate policies and a liberal free market, albeit with consideration to the fishing industry. Since 1991, the party is officially considered an "affiliated party" of the national Modern Centre Party, with the PMZ supporting OLP candidates under their banner, and members of the OLP simultaneously holding membership within the PMZ.
