The Institute for Free Trade (IFT) is a private, not-for-profit, research foundation based in central London. It aims to make "the intellectual and moral case for free trade" and sees Brexit as an "opportunity to revitalise the world trading system".[1]

The IFT was founded by Daniel Hannan, former MEP for South East England, in September 2017.[1] It is the United Kingdom's first, and currently only, think tank specialising exclusively in trade policy and the economics of trade.
