The United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP) is a political party in the Philippines organized in 2014 by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front as a vehicle to run in future elections. The political party has formally been registered in May 2015 with the Commission on Elections (Comelec).[1][2]

Yasser Ebrahim and Naguib Sinarimbo are the president and general-secretary of the party respectively.[2]

On October 2018, the party announced its intention to campaign for "yes" vote in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region creation plebiscite to be held in January 2019 and decided not to participate in the May 2019 local elections.[3]
