The Christian Liberal Party (Hangul: 기독자유당; Hanja: 基督自由黨; RR: Gidok Jayudang) is a political party in South Korea established on March 3, 2016. The party had one representative in the 19th National Assembly, Lee Yun-seok, formerly a member of the Minjoo Party of Korea. Announcing his defection to the new party, Lee stated that the Korean church was being threatened by the intrusion of homosexuality and Islamic culture. The party also promotes the restoration of laws against adultery. In a party advertisement for the 2016 parliamentary elections, actress Seo Jung-hee stated that "the revival of adultery law is a quintessential issue", and that voters should "support [the] CLP to protect our families from homosexuality and Muslims."
Representatives of a range of Christian organizations including the Christian Council of Korea and the Communion of Churches in Korea attended the party's founding convention.
