The Free Party of Luxembourg - FPL - (Fräi Partei Letzebuerg) was founded in 2003, emerging in the political process in Luxembourg in the run-up to the legislative elections of 2004. Its leader was Jean Ersfeld. It fielded 8 candidates, none of whom was elected. The party totalled 0.1% of votes cast nationally.

Most of the party's candidates were from the Oesling region of Luxembourg, a sparsely-populated area which is characterized by its relative remoteness from the south of Luxembourg. Jean Ersfeld is a local personality with a limited following in that region. The party took an essentially right-wing, nationalist position.

Following the 2004 legislative elections, the party had difficulty in continuing to organize.
