The Libertarian Party of Washington (LPWA) is the state-affiliate of the national Libertarian Party in the state of Washington, the third-largest political party in the state and country.

The party advocates for constitutionally restricted government and significant cuts to government spending and taxation. The party also supports protecting natural rights and expanding civil rights, including sexual and racial equality, LGBT rights, and decriminalization of scheduled drugs and prostitution. In addition, the party also supports school choice, privatizing the ferry system and portions of the state highways, eliminating predatory speed-traps, allowing private investment in water and natural resources, and supporting investment in industrial hemp. The Libertarian Party of Washington operates under a non-aggression pact.

Libertarians align across the political spectrum, but generally advocate against statist practices. Libertarian political affiliation is best understood by the Nolan chart, rather than the standard left/right paradigm.
