The Federal Association of Liberal Students Groups (German: Bundesverband Liberaler Hochschulgruppen; short: LHG) is a student association in the Federal Republic of Germany supporting liberal political issues.

The LHG was established in 1987, by a combination of 40 student groups, as a successor association of several liberal student associations, including the center-left Social Liberal Student Association (SLH), the Young Liberals Student Association (JuLi-Hochschulgruppen), and the Liberal Students' Initiative (LSI).{{citation needed|date=February 2011}}

The LHG is considered the first comprehensive federal association of liberal students in Germany since the breakup of the Liberal Students' Alliance (LSD), once associated with the FDP in 1969.{{citation needed|date=February 2011}}

The LHG is a full member of the European Liberal Youth (LYMEC), which itself is tied to the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party in the European Union.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lymec.eu/lhg|title = Bundesverband Liberaler Hochschulgruppen at LYMEC}}

Consisting of currently 49 member groups, LHG is one of the largest German student association.{{Cite web |last=uniturm |title=Politische Hochschulgruppen in Deutschland |url=https://www.uniturm.de/magazin/lifestyle/politische-hochschulgruppen-in-deutschland-1354 |access-date=2024-02-02 |website=www.uniturm.de |language=de}} Since its January 2024 convention in Bonn, the federal chairman is Jan-Lukas Gescher.{{Cite web |title=Liberale Hochschulgruppen wählen neuen Bundesvorstand |url=http://liberale-hochschulgruppen.de/2024/01/18/pm-liberale-hochschulgruppen-waehlen-neuen-bundesvorstand/ |access-date=2024-02-02 |website=liberale-hochschulgruppen.de |language=de-DE}}
