The Union des artistes (UDA; literally "Union of Artists") is a Quebec-based labour organization representing stage, television, radio, and film performers in French-language media in Canada. (The English-language labour organization is the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists.) It represents over 6,900 members and is affiliated with the International Federation of Actors (FIA). The current president is Tania Kontoyanni [fr].

The UDA was founded in 1937 by the singer René Bertrand. It has been recognized under Quebec law since 1987 and under federal law since 1992.
