The United Revolutionary Front of East Turkestan (Chinese: 東突厥斯坦聯合革命陣線; URFET) was a Uyghur nationalist group in Xinjiang that participated in the Xinjiang conflict as an armed separatist force. The group was supported logistically by the Soviet Union until 1989.

The group was led by Yusupbek Mukhlisi, who currently lives in-exile with other former URFET members in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
