The Free State Project (FSP) is a political movement founded in 2001 to get at least 20,000 libertarian-leaning people to move to New Hampshire in order to make the state a stronghold for libertarian ideas.

Those who join the FSP sign a statement of intent to move to New Hampshire within five years of the group reaching 20,000 participants or some other move trigger. Those who move to New Hampshire in advance of the FSP reaching 20,000 participants are referred to as "early movers". As of February 2016, 1,909 people had moved to the state, with 20,000 having signed the FSP's statement of intent.

The FSP is a social movement generally based upon decentralized decision making. While there is a control group that performs various activities, most of the FSP's activities depend upon volunteers to promote the FSP in their own way.
