The Union of Republican Forces (French: Union des Forces Républicaines, UFR) is a liberal political party in Guinea. It shouldn't be confused with the social liberal Union of Democratic Forces of Guinea, which has a similar name.

Founded in 1992, the party has been led since 1999 by the former Prime Minister of Guinea Sidya Touré.[1] The party supported the 2007 general strike.[2]

Touré finished in third place in both the 2010 and 2015 presidential elections, with vote shares of 15.6%[3] and 6.0%,[4] respectively.

In 2026, the party was ordered dissolved by the government of president Mamady Doumbouya.[5]
