The Unionist Party (Partido Unionista) is a conservative political party in Guatemala, who advocates the re-creation of a Central American union.[citation needed]

The party has been a member of the centre-right International Democrat Union since 2008 and is associated with the Union of Latin American Parties.[12]

It is not to be confused with the party of the same name formed in 1920.
