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.

—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“The liberals have not softened their view of actuality to make themselves live closer to the dream, but instead sharpen their perceptions and fight to make the dream actuality or give up the battle in despair.”
