The Socialist Union of Popular Forces (Arabic: الاتحاد الاشتراكي للقوات الشعبية, French: Union Socialiste des Forces Populaires) is a left-of-centre political party in Morocco. It was originally formed as a breakaway from the UNFP, a Socialist opposition party which had itself split from the Istiqlal Party in 1959.

At the last legislative elections, 27 September 2002, the party won 50 out of 325 seats, making it the largest party in the Moroccan parliament. It governs in coalition with "Istiqlal".
