The National LGBT Federation (NXF) is a non-governmental organisation in Dublin, Ireland, which focuses on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ) rights.

[1] The current board (as of September 2021) comprises the following: Chair Gavin Hennessy, Vice-Chair Steve Jacques, Emily Brennan, Brendan Byrne, Siobhan Curran, Claire Egan, Hayley Fox-Roberts, Adam Long, Mary McAuliffe, Conor McCarthy, Anna Nolan, Dr Chris Noone, Rob Partridge, and Steve Sands.

In September 1990, the NGF board voted to amend its name to the National Lesbian and Gay Federation (NLGF).

The final issue in October 1988 was delayed as the magazine printers, the Carlow Nationalist and Leinster Times, refused to print the previous issue due to an allegedly offensive Gay Health Action advertisement on safer sex for gay men.

Receipt of Atlantic Philanthropies funding in 2002 allowed NLGF to begin developing GCN as a commercially viable magazine.

In December 1999, the NLGF board appointed an IQA working group, comprising academics, historians and writers.
