The Federal Union Party (Burmese: ဖက်ဒရယ်ပြည်ထောင်စုပါတီ; abbreviated FUP) is a political party in Myanmar. The party was formed by sixteen ethnic political parties that were part of the Nationalities Brotherhood Forum (NBF). Its most influential region is Shan State, where it hoped to pose a challenge to the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) and the National League for Democracy (NLD) during the 2015 general election.[1]

Despite its candidates contesting in the 2010 general election (as the NBF), the 2012 by-election, and the 2015 general election, the party has not yet won a single seat. In the 2015 general election, it fielded 37 candidates in Mon and Shan State, and the Ayeyarwady, Magway, Mandalay, Sagaing, and Yangon regions.[1]
