The Somali National Front (SNF) (Somali: Dhaqdhaqaaqa Jabhada Soomaliyeed) was a politico-military organization that operated in southern Somalia during the Somali Civil War and represented one of the major factions involved in the conflict.
After its creation following the collapse of President Siyaad Barre's government in 1991, the SNF was largely made up of loyalist remnants of the Somali National Army, along with splinter groups from the Somali Democratic Movement (SDM) and supporters of Barre.
The SNF would eventually merge into the internationally recognized Transitional National Government of Somalia in 2001.
