The Liberal Party of Honduras (Spanish: Partido Liberal de Honduras) is a centre-right liberal political party in Honduras that was founded in 1891. It is the oldest existent political party in the country; further, it is one of the two main parties that have, until recently, dominated Honduran politics. The party is a member of the Liberal International. The PLH is identified with the colors red and white, as the flag Francisco Morazán used in most of his military campaigns during the time of the Federal Republic of Central America.
The party is against the legalization of abortion, which is punishable by imprisonment in Honduras.
