Liga Nathion Veneta (Venetian Nation League, LNV) was a short-lived Venetist political party active in Veneto.

LNV was founded in 1994 by Franco Rocchetta and Marilena Marin, after they had left Liga Veneta–Lega Nord, a party they were instrumental to establish. Marin had been national secretary of Liga Veneta from 1983 to 1994 (when she was defeated by Fabrizio Comencini during a party congress), while Rocchetta had been federal president of Lega Nord from 1991 to 1994, after having conceived Liga Veneta in 1978–1980.

The party had no electoral fortune: in 1994 Treviso municipal election LNV obtained a mere 1.5% of the vote and it failed to present a list in the 1995 regional election. By that time Rocchetta and Marin had joined the Federalists and Liberal Democrats, a parliamentary party close to Forza Italia. Subsequently, Rocchetta, who had awkwardly joined National Alliance in 1995, retired from active politics in 1996, while Marin concluded her term as MEP in 1999.
