'The Free Belgium'), currently sold under the name La Libre, is a quality French-language Belgian daily newspaper.

The modern La Libre traces its origins to the Le Patriote newspaper, founded by Victor and Louis Jourdain in 1884.

In February 1915, however, it was re-founded in secret by the Jourdain brothers as an underground newspaper called La Libre Belgique ("Free Belgium").

The newspaper was also published secretly in German-occupied Belgium during World War II in a number of unofficial editions.

The largest, known as the La Libre Belgique of Peter Pan (after the fictional editor's name given on the masthead) achieved a circulation of 10,000 to 30,000 copies.

Aspects of the newspaper's history reflecting the Belgian Resistance appeared in the 1942 feature film Uncensored and the 1941 documentary short Out of Darkness, part of The Passing Parade series.
