The Laiatanese Patriotic Front (LPF) (Laiatanese: Лаиатанский Патриотический Фронт, tr. Laiatanskiy Patrioticheskiy Front - LPF) was a terrorist organization involved in the Red Laiatan conflict from 1949 to 1959. 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 surrendered to the federal government, and disarmed in 1959. In 1960, it combined with the also demobilized New Laiatan Front (NLF) 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 5,200 civilians, while Laiatanese military and police killed an estimated 9,500 guerrillas.
