The United Liberal Democrats (ULD; ) was a right-wing conservative political party in South Korea, whose support mostly came from the North Chungcheong Province and South Chungcheong Province regions. The short Korean name is Jaminryeon (; ULD).
The Party was in a government coalition with Kim Dae-jung's Democratic Party from 1998 to 2001.
In the 2004 parliamentary election, it gained only 4 seats in the National Assembly, and its president Kim Jong-pil announced his retirement from politics after his bid for the 10th term in the National Assembly failed. Subsequently, most lawmakers from the party chose to defect from the party to form a new party, People First Party.
