The Constitutional Liberal Party (Spanish: Partido Liberal Constitucionalista, PLC) is the governing political party of Nicaragua. At the last legislative elections, held on 4 November 2001, the party won 53.2% of the popular vote and 47 out of 90 seats in the National Assembly. The same day, its candidate Enrique Bolaños Geyer won the presidential elections with 56.3% (Bolaños later, however, broke with the PLC to form the Alliance for the Republic (APRE)).

The PLC also supplied Bolaños's immediate predecessor, Arnoldo Alemán. The party left the Liberal International in 2005.

José Rizo Castellón was nominated as the Presidential candidate and José Antonio Alvarado was nominated as the vice-Presidential candidate for the November 2006 election.
