The Council of Serbian Unity ({{lang-sr-cyrl|Сабор српског јединства|Sabor srpskog jedinstva}}, abbr. SSJ) was a political party in Serbia, founded in 2013 by Borislav Pelević.

The Council of Serbian Unity is a re-founding of the Party of Serbian Unity previously led by Pelević before it merged into the Serbian Radical Party in 2007.{{cite news|url=http://www.kurir-info.rs/arkan-radikal-clanak-21866|title=Arkan radikal|language=Serbian|publisher=Kurir|date=24 December 2007|accessdate=9 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109071052/http://www.kurir-info.rs/arkan-radikal-clanak-21866|archive-date=9 November 2013|url-status=dead}} Following the 2008 split in the SRS and founding of the Serbian Progressive Party, Pelević was elected MP on the SNS ballot in the 2012 election but soon developed disagreements over SNS policies on Kosovo and the EU, eventually leaving the SNS parliamentary group and becoming an independent MP.{{cite news|url=http://www.novosti.rs/vesti/naslovna/aktuelno.289.html:394841-Pelevic-obnavlja-staru-stranku|title=Pelević obnavlja staru stranku|language=Serbian|publisher=Večernje novosti|date=29 August 2012|accessdate=9 November 2013}}

Due to the new registration law, the Council of Serbian Unity did not have enough time to register in time for the 2014 election, instead running as the Patriotic Front, gaining only 0.13% of the votes.{{cite web |title=Studio B :: Vesti :: Predata lista Patriotski front |url=http://www.studiob.rs/info/vest.php?id=98397 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304002953/http://www.studiob.rs/info/vest.php?id=98397 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |access-date=14 March 2014}}
