Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs (Freedom Party of Austria - FPÖ) is a right-wing national conservative political party in Austria, founded in 1949 under the name Verband der Unabhängigen (Federation of Independents - VdU), and took its current name in 1956.

The BBC's Bethany Bell describes the party as 'far-right' and notes that it has 'campaigned on an anti-immigration and "anti-Islamisation" platform for years.'[1]
