The Italian Labour Union (Italian: Unione Italiana del Lavoro, pronounced [uˈnjoːne itaˈljaːna del laˈvoːro]; UIL [uˈil, wil]) is a national trade union centre in Italy. It was founded in 1950 as a socialist, social democratic, republican, and laic split from the Italian General Confederation of Labour (CGIL). It represents almost 2.2 million workers.

The UIL is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), and the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC).
