The National Association of Co-operative Officials is a trade union for staff in the co-operative sector in the United Kingdom, principally the Co-operative Group and other retail societies, Co-operatives UK and the Co-operative Party.

NACO has historically represented professionals and management in the sector, with general unions, principally the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (USDAW), recruiting among shop-floor and administrative workers. NACO has begun, with the support of Co-operatives UK, to widen its base and end the division between 'officials' and 'administrators'.
