The Liberals–Democrats–Radicals (Italian: Liberali–Demoratici–Radicali) was a social-liberal political alliance, active in Italy in the first decades of the 20th century.
It was formed for the 1919 general election, arriving third after the Socialist Party and the People's Party, with 15.9% and 96 seats, doing particularly well in Piedmont and Southern Italy, especially in Sicily, the home-region of party's leader and former Prime Minister Vittorio Emanuele Orlando.
The Liberals–Democrats–Radicals were the expression of the Italian liberalism and the upper-middle class, like cities' bourgeoisie, business owners and artisans. In the alliance there were also a main group of radicals. The LDR also supported a right to vote and the public school for all children.
