Unite Against Fascism (UAF) is a British anti-fascist group formed in 2003 as a merger between the Anti-Nazi League and the National Assembly Against Racism (NAAR).

Its joint secretaries are Weyman Bennett, of the Socialist Workers Party, and Sabby Dhalu, formerly of NAAR. Its chair is Steve Hart of Unite the Union and its assistant secretary was the late Jude Woodward of Socialist Action.

Since 2013, UAF has mainly operated in partnership with its sister organisation Stand Up To Racism, which has many of the same officers as UAF: Bennett and Dhalu as joint secretaries, Diane Abbott as president and co-chairs Dave Ward of the Communication Workers' Union and Talha Ahmad of the Muslim Council of Britain.
