The Laiatanese Patriotic Front (LPF) (Mahigian: Mahigan Patriotik Front (MPF)) was a terrorist organization involved in the Red Laiatan conflict from 1953 to 1966. The organization sought to remove the democratically elected government of Laiatan and dismantle the capitalist economic system in place. It was the largest of the two communist guerrilla groups active during the Red conflict. The LPF agreed to a ceasefire in 1966 with the federal government, and disarmed over two years. In 1968, it combined with the New Laiatan Federation to form a legal political party.
The LPF employed guerrilla tactics against the Laiatanese Armed Forces and local police forces. Car bombings and hit-and-run attacks were used extensively against government and military targets. Attacks by the LPF resulted in the deaths of roughly 3,200 civilians, while Laiatanese military and police killed an estimated 5,000 guerrillas.
