Liberal Citizens Action (in Spanish: Acción Ciudadana Liberal) was a political party in Spain at the time of the transition to democracy. ACL emerged from the Liberal Federation (Federación Liberal), an alliance of five parties, in 1977. The president of the party was José María de Areilza, Minister of Foreign Affairs 1975-1976. Areilza had left Adolfo Suarez's Democratic Center Union (UCD).

In the 1979 elections ACL was part of the Democratic Coalition, together with Manuel Fraga's Popular Alliance (AP). Areilza was elected deputy in Madrid.

Shortly afterwards, ACL merged with the AP.
