The Union of Socialists (Italian: Unione dei Socialisti, UdS) was a social-democratic political party in Italy.
The party was founded in February 1948 by Ivan Matteo Lombardo, former leader of the Italian Socialist Party.
The party participated in the 1948 general election along with the Italian Socialist Workers' Party (PSLI) as Socialist Unity. In the 1948 election, Socialist Unity received 7.1% of the vote for the Chamber of Deputies, gaining 33 seats.
In January 1949 the party merged with the PSLI, which itself later became the Italian Democratic Socialist Party in 1951.
