The Union of Baptists in Belgium (French: Union des Baptistes en Belgique) is a fellowship of Baptist churches in Belgium.

Baptist work entered Belgium from northern France in the late 1800s. In 1892 a congregation was constituted near Liège. The Baptist Union was founded in 1922.

The union is a member of the European Baptist Federation and the Baptist World Alliance. In 1995 there were 13 churches with 855 members.
