The Liberal Forum (German: Liberales Forum) is a small liberal party in Austria. In 1993, liberals within the FPÖ, including four members of the National Council (Nationalrat, lower house of the parliament), seceded from the party to found the Liberal Forum. Heide Schmidt (3rd president of the Nationalrat) became the party's first chairman. The party managed to remain in parliament until 1999. In the elections of 2002 it obtained 1% of the vote and got no seats.

It is led by Alexander Zach, and is a member of Liberal International and the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party.
