The Union of European Democrats (Polish: Unia Europejskich Demokratów, Polish pronunciation: [ˈuɲ.ja ɛw.rɔˈpɛj.skix dɛ.mɔˈkra.tuf]; UED) is a liberal political party in Poland. It is led by Elżbieta Bińczycka.

It was founded as a merger of Democratic Party – demokraci.pl and "European Democrats" in November 2016. It joined the parliamentary group of the Polish People's Party in 2018, and later participated in the upcoming elections under the European Coalition and the Polish Coalition. Ideologically, it supports principles of social liberalism and advocates for a more federal European Union.

UED is a legal successor of the Democratic Union and the Freedom Union.[2]
