Kolina (an acronym of Corriente de Liberación Nacional, ) is a Kirchnerist political party in Argentina founded in 2010 by Alicia Kirchner, sister of former president of Argentina, Néstor Kirchner. The party now forms part of Unión por la Patria, the former ruling coalition supporting then-President Alberto Fernández. At the time of its foundation and until the alliance's dissolution, the party was a member of the Front for Victory.
Following the 2019 general election, the party has representation in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies (the National Deputies Lisandro Bormioli, María Rosa Martínez and Paola Vessvessian belong to Kolina). In addition, Alicia Kirchner was governor of Santa Cruz Province from 2015 to 2023.
