The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) is an anti-Taliban militant group operating in Afghanistan. In some parts of Afghanistan, the AFF and National Resistance Front (NRF) collaborate on anti-Taliban operations.

The AFF has reportedly tried to recruit pro-NRF fighters, putting in perspective the NRF's appeal being limited to Tajiks and pro-Jamiat e Islami groups.
