Liberec (, German: Reichenberg, Romany: Libertsis) is a city of the Czech Republic, in the Liberec Region. Located on the Lusatian Neisse, it is the capital and largest city of the region.

Liberec was first mentioned in a document from 1348, and from 1622 to 1634 was among the possessions of Albrecht von Wallenstein. After his death it belonged to the Gallas and Clam Gallas families, though their jurisdiction over the town has long ceased. The cloth-making industry was introduced in 1579.

The city developed rapidly at the end of the 19th century, and as a result has a spectacular collection of late 19th century buildings; the town hall, the opera house, and the Severočeske Muzeum (Museum of Northern Bohemia) are of significant note. The neighborhoods on the hills above the town center have a dizzying display of beautiful homes and streets, all laid out in a picturesque Romantic style, typical of central European thermal spas.
