The Party of New Liberals (Greek: Κόμμα των Νεοφιλελευθέρων) was a shortly lived liberal political party in Greece.

The party was founded by Konstantinos Mitsotakis in 1977.[1] It took part in only one election, that of 1977, where it obtained 1.08% of the vote and two seats in the Hellenic Parliament (the other seat being filled by Pavlos Vardinoyannis).[2]

The New Liberals merged into the New Democracy party in 1978. Mitsotakis became New Democracy chairman in 1984 and led a New Democracy government from 1990 to 1993.[1]
