The Tigers militia (Arabic: نمور الأحرار, transliterated: Numūr al-Aḥrar), also known as the NLP Tigers or PNL "Lionceaux" in French and Tigers of the Liberals (Arabic: نمور الليبراليين‎, transliterated: Numūr al-Lībrāliyyīn) was the military wing of the National Liberal Party (NLP) during the 1975-78 phase of the Lebanese Civil War. Established in the late 1960s, the NLP militia was the second major faction within the Lebanese nationalist Christian Lebanese Front coalition under the leadership of Dany Chamoun, son of the NLP's president Camille Chamoun, from 1976 until 1980, when it was forcefully incorporated into the Lebanese Forces.
