The Progressive Liberal Party (Greek Kόμμα Προοδευτικών Φιλελευθέρων), was a centrist, Venizelist political party formed in Greece, by Georgios Kafantaris, following the breakup of Venizelos' Liberal Party on February 4, 1924.

Kafantaris led 80 Liberal Party MPs on March 12, 1924 into his Progressive Liberal Party and became PM. He was succeeded at that post by several other former Liberals until the coup d'etat, on June 26, 1925, by Theodoros Pangalos. After the overthrow of Pangalos, Kafantaris joined the revived Liberal Party and the Progressive Liberal Party ceased to exist.
