This article gives an overview of liberalism in the Republic of Moldova. In the years from 1918 through 1940 and 1941 through 1944, what is today the Republic of Moldova was part of Romania, so the Romanian political parties were active in Moldova. It is limited to liberal parties with substantial support, principally those with a history of representation in parliament.
