Libs of TikTok is a handle for various far-right and anti-LGBT social-media accounts operated by Chaya Raichik (/ˈxɑːjə ˈrɪk/ KHAH-yə RY-chik), a former real estate agent.

With millions of followers on Twitter/X, Libs of TikTok is influential among American conservatives and the political right.

The accounts promote hate speech and transphobia, and spread false claims, especially relating to medical care of transgender children.
