There is also "compatibilism"

Compatibilism is the belief that free will and determinism are compatible ideas, and that it is possible to believe both without being logically inconsistent.[1] Compatibilists believe freedom can be present or absent in situations for reasons that have nothing to do with metaphysics.

Yes, but it's under a definition of "free" that is not normally applied to the term "free will."
