The Valdotanian Union (Union Valdôtaine, UV) is a liberal regionalist political party in the Aosta Valley, Italy.
It was founded on 3 September 1945 and it is the main political party in the region. The regional government is led by Luciano Caveri and is dominated by UV, which governs in coalition with the local Democrats of the Left.
Despite the close ties with the parties of the centre-left, UV contested the 2006 general election in competition with The Union (rallied in the Autonomy Liberty Democracy list), as part of the regionalist coalition named Autonomy Progress Federalism Aosta Valley, but it lost and since then the party is no longer represented in the Italian Parliament.
