Teachers' trade unions in the United Kingdom are trade unions for teachers operating in the United Kingdom.

Due to the differing education systems in the UK, most unions only organise in certain parts of the country and some focus on certain members of staff, such as headteachers. Teaching is an unusual profession in that it does not have one leading union, but has many different ones, often with differing aims. Having said that, the NUT, NASUWT and ATL jointly represent the vast majority of teachers in England and Wales, while the EIS represents the majority of teachers in Scotland.
