Liberalism in Ukraine refers to the political philosophy and movement that advocates for individual liberties, democratic governance, free markets, and human rights within the context of Ukrainian politics. Historically, liberal ideas were represented by the Ukrainian Democratic Party and later the Ukrainian Radical Democratic Party, which played a role in pre-Soviet and early 20th-century Ukrainian politics.

In the post-Soviet era, several parties have adopted liberal principles to varying degrees, including the Liberal Party of Ukraine, Reforms and Order Party, PORA, and Yabluko. Larger political blocs such as the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc and UDAR have also incorporated liberal democratic elements. Due to Ukraine’s fragmented party system, liberal representation has often been inconsistent and limited in the Verkhovna Rada.
