The Union of the Left (Polish: Unia Lewicy) or UL is a minor social-democratic political party in Poland founded on 20 March 2005 through the union of several left-wing organisations, including Worker's Democracy, Young Socialists (Młodzi Socjaliści), and "'Never Again' Association" (Stowarzyszenie Nigdy Więcej).
Their initial target was to eliminate the far-right All-Polish Youth and provide a left-wing alternative to the SLD. The party is supported by the "Democratic Women's Union" (Demokratyczna Unia Kobiet), Polish LGBT rights groups, and several small left-wing organisations.
