The New Constitutional Liberal Party (Arabic: الحزب الحر الدستوري الجديد, el-Ḥizb el-Ḥurr ed-Dustūrī el-Jadīd; French: Nouveau Parti libéral constitutionnel), most commonly known as Neo Destour, was a Tunisian political party founded in 1934 in Dar Ayed, the house of independence activist Ahmed Ayed,[3] by a group of Tunisian nationalist politicians during the French protectorate. It originated from a split with the Destour party.

Led by Habib Bourguiba, Neo Destour became the ruling party upon Tunisian independence in 1956. In 1964, it was renamed the Socialist Destourian Party.
