The Melanesian Progressive Union (French: Union progressiste mélanésienne, UPM) is a militant socialist pro-independence political party in New Caledonia.
It is a component of the National Union for Independence, which in turn is one of the two components of the Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS).
The UPM was founded in 1974 by Melanesian supporters of the Caledonian Union who were opposed to the leader of the party, the white Maurice Lenormand.
