The Iran Unity Party (Persian: حزب وحدت ایران, romanizedḤezb-e Waḥdat-e Irān) was a socialist political party in Iran. It split the Iran Party following its alliance with the communist Tudeh Party of Iran in 1946.[3]

According to Leonard Binder, the party was in a coalition with the National Union Party and Socialist Party in the 14th parliament.[4]
