The Unión Patriótica Española ("Spanish Patriotic Union", UPE) was the party created from above by Spanish dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera, conceived as a support to his conservative dictatorship and integrating political Catholicism, technocrats, and the business-owning classes.
After the establishment of the Spanish Republic, the party changed its name to the Union Monarquista (Monarchist Union). It was merged into the Falange in 1936.
