The Union of Iranian Republicans or United Republicans of Iran (Persian: اتحاد جمهوری‌خواهان ایران, romanizedEtteḥād-e Jomhuri-ḵˇāhān-e Iran) is a secular political organization founded in 2004 by Iranian leftist activists in exile. They are classified as part of the democratic republican opposition groups, whose members are not exclusively made up of former Marxists, but substantial numbers of them are.

In 2011, 'Organization of Iranian Republicans' split from this organization.
