The Institute for Free Trade (IFT) is a private, not-for-profit, research foundation based in central London. It aims to make "the intellectual and moral case for free trade" and sees Brexit as an "opportunity to revitalise the world trading system".

The IFT was founded by Daniel Hannan, former MEP for South East England, in September 2017. It is the United Kingdom's first, and currently only, think tank specialising exclusively in trade policy and the economics of trade.
