The German Free-minded Party (German: Deutsche Freisinnige Partei, DFP) or German Radical Party[1][2][3] was a short-lived liberal party in the German Empire, founded on 5 March 1884 as a result of the merger of the German Progress Party and the Liberal Union, an 1880 split-off of the National Liberal Party.
