Union of Iranian Republicans[1] or United Republicans of Iran[3] (Persian: اتحاد جمهوری‌خواهان ایران‎, translit. Etteḥād-e Jomhuri-ḵˇāhān-e Iran) is a secular political organization founded in 2004 by Iranian leftist activists in exile.[1] They are classified among the democratic republican opposition groupings, whose members are not exclusively made up of former Marxists, but substantial numbers of them are.[3]

In 2011, 'Organization of Iranian Republicans' split from this organization.[4]
