The Lebanese Front was a coalition of mainly right-wing Lebanese Nationalist parties and organizations formed in 1976 by majority Christian militia groups during the Lebanese Civil War. It was intended to act as a reaction force to the Lebanese National Movement (LNM) of Kamal Jumblatt and other left-wing allies. They played significant role against Palestinian and Syrian military intervention and occupation of Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War.
