Liberty Super Market was a grocery store chain with several locations in the Birmingham area.

Along with Pizitz, the supermarket anchored the first extension of the Roebuck Plaza Shopping Center which opened in 1960. It was originally addressed at 9096 4th Avenue South, on the stretch that was later reoriented to become part of Parkway East. That store closed in 1984.

The North Birmingham store was the scene of a mass protest organized by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference on February 22, 1966. A man fired at demonstrators who were impeding his car in the parking lot, wounding five. He surrendered to police, but a grand jury found no probably cause to prosecute him.
