The Newfoundland Reform Liberal Party was a personalist political party in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada from 1969 to 1971. It backed the return to power of Joey Smallwood after he was voted out as Leader of the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador following his refusal to resign as premier despite losing an election. Four candidates of the party were elected to the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly including Smallwood. The party disbanded after Smallwood decided to resign from politics.
