The British Columbia Libertarian Party is a minor "fringe" libertarian party in British Columbia, Canada, that nominated its first candidates in the 1986 provincial election.

The party advocates for the creation of a provincial Constitution to protect property rights, and rejects federal infringement into areas of provincial jurisdiction seeking to change the division of powers to avoid secession. They also stand for free speech except in cases of fraud or violence.

In the 2020 British Columbia general election the party fielded 25 candidates and received 8,360 votes, or 0.4% of the popular vote. Keith Macintyre received 2.6% of votes in Penticton.
