Liberator is a radical liberal United Kingdom magazine associated with but not connected to the Liberal Democrats. Founded in 1970 as the magazine of the then Young Liberals, it has continued to publish articles often highly critical of the direction of the party leadership. In particular, the Liberal Party's debacle over nuclear disarmament in 1986, the merger of the Liberal Party and Social Democratic Party and the Tony Blair-Paddy Ashdown project saw some coruscating articles penned.

Sometime members of the editorial collective include Peter Hain, now a Labour minister, and Liz Barker, now a Liberal Democrat peer. The magazine merged with Radical Bulletin, mostly topical and distinctly off-message news, in 1983.
