The National Political Union, better known as EPEN (Greek: Εθνική Πολιτική Ένωσις, or Ethniki Politiki Enosis, EΠΕΝ) was a Greek far-right political party. The party was founded on January 30, 1984 by jailed former junta leader Georgios Papadopoulos. It participated (unsuccessfully) in the 1985 general election. In the 1984 elections to the European Parliament, the party polled 2.3% of the vote, giving it one of the 24 seats held by Greece.
