The Union of Bulgarian National Legions (Bulgarian: Съюз на Българските Национални Легиони) was a fascist organization in Bulgaria that was formed in 1933.
Also known as the Legionnaires’ Association, the movement was founded and led by Hristo Lukov, a Bulgarian army general who had commanded the 13th Division during the closing days of World War I. The movement was initially small, although it did gain some support from Nazi Germany and experienced some growth during the Second World War as a result. The movement floundered after the assassination of its leader by a Communist conspiracy group on February 13, 1943 and it did not survive the war.
