Outside the US, obviously.
In the US, I think so. Leftists, by US definition, are a more all-encompassing group left of center, while "liberal" seems to mean "center-left" generally speaking.
Then again, sometimes I hear the words "liberal" and "conservative" being used (erroneously) as synonyms for "left" and "right"--such as calling Bernie Sanders "very liberal," when he's a bit to the left of most US "liberals."
Really, "liberal" can mean a bunch of things in various contexts. I bet it's our fault--Americans like to confuse terminology.
