The definition of liberal party is highly debatable. In the list below, it is defined as a [[political party]] that adheres to the basic principles of political [[liberalism]]. This is a broad political current, including [[left-wing politics|left-wing]], [[centrism|centrist]] and [[right-wing politics|right-wing]] elements. All liberal parties emphasise [[Individual and group rights|individual rights]], but they differ in their opinion on an active role for the state. This list includes parties of different character, ranging from [[classical liberalism]] to [[social liberalism]], [[conservative liberalism]] to [[national liberalism]].

Several [[Conservatism|conservative]] and/or [[Christian democracy|Christian-democratic]] parties, such as the British [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]], Germany's [[Christian Democratic Union of Germany|Christian Democratic Union]] and Spain's [[People's Party (Spain)|People's Party]], are also considered to be [[neoliberalism|neoliberal]] leaning or have strong [[Liberal conservatism|liberal conservative]] and/or classical liberal factions, whereas some conservative parties, such as Poland's [[Law and Justice]] and Hungary's [[Fidesz]], while favour more state intervention also support free market/free market solutions. Conversely, some social-democratic parties, such as the British [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] and the Italian [[Democratic Party (Italy)|Democratic Party]], include liberal elements. Social liberalism and [[social conservatism]] are not mutually exclusive either, in fact some parties espouse socially liberal economic policies, while maintaining more socially conservative or traditionalist views on society: examples of this include Finland's [[Centre Party (Finland)|Centre Party]] (see also [[Nordic agrarian parties]]) and Ireland's [[Fianna Fáil]], both members of the [[Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party]] (ALDE Party). In the United States, the two major political forces, the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] and the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]], are to some extent, liberal (see [[Liberalism in the United States]] and [[Modern liberalism in the United States]]).

Many liberal parties are members of the [[Liberal International]] and/or one of its regional partners, such as the ALDE Party in Europe, the [[Liberal Network for Latin America]] and the [[Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats]]. Generally, membership in these international organizations is an indication that that party is indeed liberal. However, other international organisations, such as the [[International Democrat Union]] and the [[Centrist Democrat International]], and regional organisations, such as the [[European People's Party]], the [[Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists]], the [[European Democratic Party]] and the [[Christian Democrat Organization of America]], also have liberal or liberal leaning parties as significant proportions of their membership.
