Union for Europe of the Nations (UEN){{Cite web|url=http://emlab.berkeley.edu/users/groland/pubs/HNR-Democracy_in_the_EP-11July05.pdf |title=Democracy in the European Parliament |access-date=30 December 2009}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.cvce.eu/obj/the_development_of_political_groups_of_the_european_parliament-en-35c2d1b5-1661-4c33-a65a-db49ade0c5ac.html |title=Development of Political Groups in the European Parliament |publisher=CVCE |access-date=16 January 2015}} was a national-conservative, Eurosceptic political group that operated in the European Parliament between 1999 and 2009. At its height in February 2008, it had 44 MEPs. UEN was affiliated with the Alliance for Europe of the Nations political party.

UEN was formed as the successor of the Union for Europe group. Its members were parties such as the Rally for France, Italian National Alliance and Lega Nord, Irish Fianna Fáil, and Polish Law and Justice. After the 2009 European Parliament election, UEN was dissolved due to its member parties opting to switch to other groups.
