Lower Liberties is a historic district located in the city of Derry (also known as Londonderry) in County Derry, Northern Ireland. The area sits within the walled city of Derry, one of the most completely preserved fortified cities in Europe, characterized by its distinctive 17th-century defensive walls that still encircle much of the historic core. The district occupies terrain typical of the city's topography, with streets that follow the contours established during the Ulster Plantation period. The landscape reflects the broader geography of the region, which sits on the banks of the River Foyle and features the rolling terrain characteristic of County Derry.

The origins of Lower Liberties date to the early 17th century, when Derry was rebuilt and fortified as part of the Ulster Plantation scheme. The term "Liberties" refers to the areas adjacent to but outside the main walls of the city, which historically had particular administrative and legal status. Lower Liberties developed as an extension of the walled city, accommodating commercial and residential growth beyond the original fortifications. The district's development reflects the broader historical patterns of Irish urban expansion during the colonial period and subsequent centuries of social, economic, and political change.

Lower Liberties remains significant to Derry's community as part of the city's living heritage. The district contains buildings and streetscapes that reflect various periods of the city's development, contributing to the overall character of historic Derry. Like much of the city, it has been shaped by the experiences of its diverse population and the major historical events that affected the region, including periods of significant social and political upheaval in the 20th century. Today, Lower Liberties functions as part of the broader fabric of Derry's city center, with local residents and visitors experiencing it as an integral part of the historic urban landscape.
