The Homeland Union (Conservatives, Political Prisoners and the Exiled, Christianical Democrats) (Lithuanian: Tėvynės sąjunga (konservatoriai, politiniai kaliniai ir tremtiniai, krikščioniškieji demokratai)), or TS, is a political party in Lithuania. It was founded in May 1993 by the right wing of the Lithuanian Movement for Restructuring (Sąjūdis), led by the transitional national leader Vytautas Landsbergis. Its current leader is former prime minister Andrius Kubilius.

It is conservative party, member of the European People's Party (EPP) and the International Democrat Union (IDU).

In the 1996 national elections it secured 40% of the vote and returned 70 deputies to the Seimas, but in 2001 it was reduced to 8.6% and 9 deputies. After Lithuania's admission to the European Union it elected in the 2004 European Parliamentary Elections two MEPs - one of whom is Dr. Landsbergis - who sit in the EPP-ED Group. At the last legislative elections, 10 October 2004, the party won 14.6 % of the popular vote and 25 out of 141 seats.

Until the merger with Union of Political Prisoners and the Exiled and Christianical Democrats (not Lithuanian Christian Democrats) was known just as Homeland Union (Lithuanian Conservatives).
