The term "small-l libertarian" is used by those who define themselves as ideologically libertarian, but are not members of or adherents to an official Libertarian Party in their country. Members or adherents of the organized Libertarian Party are often referred to as "Big-L Libertarians".

This term is used chiefly in countries with Libertarian parties.
