Party Order and Justice (Lithuanian: Partija tvarka ir teisingumas, PTT), formerly the Liberal Democratic Party (Liberalų Demokratų Partija, LDP), is a right-wing national conservative political party in Lithuania, though it self-identifies as 'left-of-centre'. It has eleven members of the Seimas, the unicameral Lithuanian parliament.
Formed as the 'Liberal Democratic Party' in 2002, the party achieved almost immediate success with the election of leader Rolandas Paksas as President of Lithuania within its first year. Paksas's impeachment led to the party reorganising itself as 'Order and Justice' to compete in the 2004 parliamentary election. Since then, it has been the fourth-largest party in the Seimas, and finished third in the elections to the European Parliament and to the presidency.
The party sits on the right, possesses a radical and anti-establishment identity, and is described as both socially conservative and 'liberal', in line with its original identity. Its support is strongest in the north-west Samogitia region. The party's two MEPs sit in the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy group in the European Parliament, with the party having previously belonged to the now-defunct Union for Europe of the Nations (UEN) and Europe of Freedom and Democracy (EFD) groups.
