Civic Union (Spanish: Unión Cívica) is a small Uruguayan political party founded in 1971 by dissidents of the Christian Democratic Party (PDC) who did not want to join the Frente Amplio alliance.

The party delivered a minister of defense in 1985, after parliamentary democracy was restored to Uruguay.

In the 2004 presidential election, Civic Union candidate Aldo Lamorte received 4,859 votes, placing 6th.
