The Union of Republican Forces (UFR; French: Union des Forces Républicaines) was a liberal political party in Guinea. Founded in 1992, the party was led by the former Prime Minister of Guinea Sidya Touré since 1999. The party supported the 2007 general strike.

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

In 2026, the party was dissolved by the government of president Mamady Doumbouya.
