The Party of New Liberals (Greek: Kόμμα των Nεοφιλελευθέρων) was a shortly lived liberal political party in Greece.
The party was founded by Constantine Mitsotakis in 1977. 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).
The New Liberals merged into the New Democracy party in 1978.
