The Lao Front for National Development (LFND; Lao: ແນວລາວສ້າງຊາດ, Neo Lao Sang Xat) is a Laotian popular front founded in 1979, and led by the Lao People's Revolutionary Party.
Its task is to organize Laotian mass mobilization, and other socio-political, organizations.
In 1988, its tasks were expanded to include certain ethnic minority affairs.
