The Alliance for Peace and Freedom (APF) is a far-right European political alliance and former European political party founded on 4 February 2015.[6] The main member parties were involved in the defunct European National Front.

The alliance wishes to establish a network of nationalist movements across Europe that will cooperate to strengthen their shared ideals.[7] It cooperates and supports other nationalist groups across Europe that are not members, these include former party member Golden Dawn, Tricolour Flame,[8] Alternative for Sweden[9] and the ELAM.[10] The alliance is described as neo-Nazi by several newspapers,[11][12] and neo-fascist by others.[13][14]

The group works for "a Europe of sovereign nations in which the independent states work together on a confederated basis", and for the perennity and the safeguarding of ancestral European traditions such as the Christian tradition.[15]
