The e-Government Unit (eGU) was a unit of the Cabinet Office of the government of the United Kingdom responsible for helping various government departments use information technology to increase efficiency and improve electronic access to government services. It was therefore deeply involved in issues of e-Government.

The unit was created by Prime Minister Tony Blair in September 2004,^[1] replacing the Office of the e-Envoy. Its first head was Ian Watmore,^[2] who was succeeded in January 2006 by Andrew Stott.^[3]

The eGU website was closed down in 2007.^[4]
