The Uganda Patriotic Movement (UPM) was a defunct socialist political party in Uganda that played a crucial role in the country's political transition during the 1980s. Founded by Yoweri Museveni as a left-wing splinter group from the Uganda People's Congress (UPC), the UPM represented an alternative political vision that would eventually evolve into the National Resistance Movement.
