The Light Blue and White Union (Spanish: Unión Celeste y Blanco; UCyB) is a minor centre-right political party in Argentina. It was founded in 2007 by Argentine-Colombian businessman and former national deputy Francisco de Narváez.[7] The party stands for economic liberalism and Federal Peronism.[8] The party's name is a reference to the Argentine national colours.

The party now forms part of Federal Consensus and has no representation at the federal level.[9][10]
