Unionen is a Swedish white-collar trade union.

The union was formed on 1 January 2008, when the Swedish Union of Commercial Salaried Employees merged with the Swedish Union of Clerical and Technical Employees in Industry. Like both its predecessors, it affiliated to the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees. Unionen is the biggest trade union in Sweden and the biggest white-collar union in the world. In 2014, it was joined by the Pharmacy Union, and in 2019 by the Association of Forestal, and Agricultural Employees. The union had 403,623 members on formation.
