The United National Front (UNF) (Sinhala: එක්සත් ජාතික පෙරමුණ), later the United National Front for Good Governance (UNFGG) (Sinhala: එක්සත් යහපාලන ජාතික පෙරමුණ Eksath Yahapalana Jathika Peramuna; Tamil: நல்லாட்சிக்கான ஐக்கிய தேசிய முன்னணி), was a political alliance in Sri Lanka led by the United National Party.

The UNF was the governing party of the Parliament of Sri Lanka from 2015 to 2020. The alliance once consisted of 7 parties, including the largest Muslim party in Sri Lanka, the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress, and the Sinhalese nationalist Jathika Hela Urumaya. Since 2020, however, the alliance has been rendered mostly nugatory, with the alliance only having one national list seat in the parliament and the UNP being the only constituent party of the alliance.
