Lega Romagna (English: Romagna League), whose complete name is Lega Romagna per Salvini Premier (English: Romagna League for Salvini Premier), is a regionalist political party active in Romagna, part of Emilia-Romagna region. The party was a "national" section of Lega Nord (LN) from 1991 to 2020, and has been the regional section of Lega per Salvini Premier (LSP) in Romagna since 2020.[1]

The party's current leader is Jacopo Morrone in February 2020. Gianluca Pini, long-time party leader (1991–2015) and member of the Chamber of Deputies (2006–2018), is a nostalgic of the LN and a strong critic of the LSP.[2]

The party has been a long proponent of the separation of Romagna from Emilia and, thus, the establishment of the Region of Romagna.[3] For now it has campaigned with some success for the "return" of Romagnol municipalities of northern Marche to Romagna.[4]
