The Independent Liberal Party (Serbian: Самостална либерална странка, Samostalna liberalna stranka, SLS) is a Kosovan political party.

In the 2010 Kosovan parliamentary election, the party won 2.1% of the popular vote and 8 out of 120 seats. In February 2011, the SLS joined the coalition government of Hashim Thaçi, whose Democratic Party of Kosovo won the largest share of votes in the elections. The SLS got three ministries – Local Self-Government, Communities and Return, and Labor and Social Welfare.^[3] ^[4]

In the 2014 Kosovan parliamentary election, the party won only 0.05% of the popular vote and lost all of its seats.
