Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) (ISO: Śiva Sēnā (Uddhava Bāḷāsāhēba Ṭhākare); lit. 'Army of Shivaji, led by Uddhav Thackeray'; abbr. SS (UBT)) is a Hindutva-based, Marathi regionalist, nationalist political party formed in 2022 under the leadership of former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray.

It was allotted a new symbol (Flaming Torch) by the Election Commission, separate from the main Shiv Sena. It was one of two separate factions, the other being the Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena, led by Eknath Shinde, formed as a result of the 2022 Maharashtra political crisis, until the Election Commission recognised the faction led by Eknath Shinde as the legitimate structure of Shiv Sena in February 2023. Thackeray has filed petition against the decision of the ECI at the Supreme Court in New Delhi.
