Liechtenstein Homeland Service (German: Liechtensteiner Heimatdienst, LHD) was a political party in Liechtenstein that advocated corporate statism and the abolition of party politics.

History※

Established in the autumn of 1933, the party's positions began to radicalize and move toward Nazi ideas within a few months of existence. It also included some former followers of the Liechtenstein Free Trade Association. By December 1933, "this radicalization caused some members," such as co-founder Eugen Schafhauser and Richard Meier to abandon the party.

The LHD merged with the Christian-Social People's Party (VP) in 1936 to form the Patriotic Union (VU).
