New Liberal Club (新自由クラブ, Shin-jiyū-kurabu) was a political party in Japan that was founded on 25 June 1976 as a breakaway from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).

The New Liberal Club formed a coalition government with the LDP in December 1983, with the New Liberal's president, Seiichi Tagawa, serving as the Minister of Home Affairs in the government of Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone.[4]

It rejoined the LDP on 15 August 1986.
