The National Farmers' Union (NFU) is an employer association representing farming and growing businesses within England and Wales.
The NFU originated as the Lincolnshire Farmers' Union (LFU) which was founded in 1904. Over the next four years, similar farmers' organisations were established in neighbouring counties. In 1908, these organisations formed the current National Farmers' Union. Colin Campbell was its first president.
The organisation has been led by Tom Bradshaw as president since 2024.
