Patriotic Union (Spanish: Unión Patriótica, UPA) was a far-left Chilean political party. It was founded in September 2015 and is led by Eduardo Artés, general secretary of the Chilean Communist Party (Proletarian Action).[6]

Legally registered in 2016, it first appeared in the municipal elections of that year. The party obtained 0.32% of the total votes but no candidates were elected to any council.[7]

It was declared as an anti-imperialist, progressive, patriotic and populist party.[8] Its leader has expressed sympathy with the government of North Korea and the government of President Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela.[9][10]

For the 2017 elections, the party proclaimed Artés as its presidential candidate, where he finished in seventh place in the first round.[11] The party was dissolved in 2018 for failing to get a minimum percentage of the vote. It was reregistered in 2019, but dissolved again in February 2022 after failing to obtain at least 5% of the vote in the 2021 parliamentary elections.[12]
