Lega Nord Friuli-Venezia Giulia (English: Friuli-Venezia Giulia Northern League, LNFVG) is a regionalist political party in Italy which functions as the "national" (hence, regional) section of Lega Nord in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
LNFVG is led by Massimiliano Fedriga, who is also the party's only member of the Chamber of Deputies and Lega Nord's floor leader. Its former leader Pietro Fontanini is the President of the Province of Udine.
The party was founded in 1990 as Lega Friuli by leading members of the Friuli Movement, including Roberto Visentin, Pietro Fontanini, Rinaldo Bosco, Sergio Cecotti and Alessandra Guerra. After that the Friuli Movement decided not join Lega Nord, they formed Lega Friuli in order to join. Visentin was the longstanding leader of the party until 1999.
In the 1990s the LNF controlled the posts of President or Vice President of the Region (1993–2003), President of the Province of Pordenone (1995–1999), President of the Province of Udine (1995–1999), Mayor of Pordenone (1993–2001) and Mayor of Udine (1998–2003). The party was the region's largest at the 1993 regional election (26.7%) and the 1996 general election (23.2%).
In 2001 Lega Nord Friuli was merged with Lega Nord Trieste to form a united regional section. At the time the party suffered many splits and a strong decline in term of votes, especially if compared to neighbouring Liga Veneta.
