The University of Plymouth Students' Union (UPSU) represents students at the University of Plymouth, Devon, England.

All students attending the University of Plymouth are encouraged to join the UPSU, and thus the NUS community. With almost 100 clubs and societies ranging from the Legendary Snowriders to Medsoc to Dodgeball there is something for everyone.

UPSU offers advice and information for students, including guidance about finance and alcoholism, and also spearheads campaigns regarding important issues, such as fighting the closure of the university's Exmouth campus.

The Student Union itself plays host to various themed nights, including the national student club night Flirt!, and is a popular nightspot for students.

The main headquarters are in Drake Circus, Plymouth, although there are also sites at the Exmouth and Exeter campuses. UPSU is a purely democratic union, officers being elected by the student population.
