The Union of Francophones (French: Union des Francophones) or UF is a Belgian electoral list which participates in regional and provincial elections in the Flemish Province of Flemish Brabant. As its name suggests, its primary target are the French-speaking inhabitants of Flemish Brabant and particularly those who live in Halle-Vilvoorde and the municipalities with linguistic facilities near the Brussels-Capital Region.

The UF is a cooperation between the three most important French-speaking parties in Belgium: the Mouvement Réformateur, the Centre Démocrate Humaniste and the Parti Socialiste. Its main interests include the expansion of the bilingual Brussels-Capital Region and the preservation of the electoral circumscription of Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde. It has one seat in the Flemish Parliament and six in the Provincial Council of Flemish Brabant.
