The National Liberation Front of Corsica (Corsican: Fronte di Liberazione Naziunale Corsu, or FLNC) is a militant group that advocates an independent state on the island of Corsica, separate from France. They also wanted all currently imprisoned members of the FLNC in France to be put into Corsican prisons. The organisation's presence was primarily in Corsica and less so on the French mainland. Conculta Naziunalista is often considered to be the political wing of the organisation.

Typical militant acts by the FLNC were bombings, aggravated assault, armed bank robbery and extortion through "revolutionary taxes", and are mostly aimed at public buildings, banks, tourist infrastructure, military buildings and other symbols of French control. Usually the attacks were against buildings and infrastructure and not against people. The overwhelming majority of their attacks on the French mainland took place in or around the cities of Nice, Marseille and Avignon.

In 2014, and again in 2016, the militant group announced the cessation of the armed struggle.

The FLNC was created from a merger of Ghjustizia Paolina and the Fronte Paesanu Corsu di Liberazione, the two largest Corsican armed organizations. It is an offshoot of the political party A Cuncolta Independentista which has members in the Corsican Assembly and some support with the Corsican people.

The FLNC carried out its first attacks on the night of 4 May 1976 with 21 bombs exploding in Ajaccio, Bastia, Sartène, Porto-Vecchio and other towns. The majority of the targets were public buildings and the offices of estate agents. On 5 May the FLNC formally announced its existence when it issued a bilingual manifesto which also claimed responsibility for the previous night's attacks.
