The Radical Left Front (Greek: Μέτωπο Ριζοσπαστικής Αριστεράς, Metopo Rizospastikis Aristeras, MERA) was a coalition of radical left political parties in Greece.

The Radical Left Front was founded in 1999 by New Left Current (NAR), the Maoist Revolutionary Communist Movement of Greece (EKKE), the Trotskyist Workers Revolutionary Party (EEK), Youth of Communist Liberation (NKA), Independent Communist Organization of Serres (AKOS) and independent left activists. In 2004, Alternative Ecologists affiliated itself to the Front.
