The Non-aligned Coalition (Swedish: Obunden Samling) is a conservative[1] political party on the Åland Islands. It was founded in 1987.

In 2013 it was announced that the party would merge with the Moderates. All of the party's parliament members joined the Moderates to form Moderate Coalition for Åland. However the party survived as one of the original founders Bert Häggblom returned to recreate the party with new members.[8]
