The Liberal Centre (Danish: Liberalt Centrum) was a political party in Denmark between 1965 and 1969.

History

The party was established on 10 September 1965. Amongst its founders were Niels Westerby and Børge Diderichsen, who had left Venstre over taxation policy.

The party received 2.5% of the national vote in the 1966 elections, winning four seats. However, the party lost all four seats in the 1968 elections. It was dissolved the following year.
