The Democratic Freedom Caucus (DFC) is a small caucus within the United States Democratic Party which seeks to help the Democratic Party rediscover its Jeffersonian roots, of individual liberty, constitutional democracy, civil liberties, and opposition to corporate welfare and special interests.

The DFC describes itself as "a progressive, pro-freedom caucus" and has a platform influenced by the economic ideas of Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, John Stuart Mill, Henry George, and several Nobel prize economists, among others, who argue that land and natural resources are subject to different economic laws than products of human effort. The DFC also expresses support for cutting government spending and bureaucracy, by addressing the root causes of poverty, and advocates a socially responsible transition toward more freedom, by first starting with cutting corporate welfare and other favoritism to special interests. The DFC endorses Democrats running for public office whose views are at least somewhat compatible with those of the DFC, and the caucus has been impressed by Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, for his support of civil liberties and fiscal responsibility.
