The National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU; Ukrainian: Національна спілка журналістів України, romanized: Natsionalna spilka zhurnalistiv Ukrainy, НСЖУ) is a public organization uniting professional creative workers, journalists and other mass media workers who are professionally engaged in journalism and journalistic activities.

[1] It was created on 23 April 1959[2] and officially recognized by a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR.

The Union of Journalists was headed by the republican board, the branches of the Union operated in the regions, and primary organizations operated in separate editorial offices of newspapers, radio and television.

The Union of Journalists operated under the constant supervision of the Department of Propaganda and Agitation of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, since journalists in the Soviet Union were considered as "helpers of the party";[4] organizationally, the Union of Journalists was subordinated to the board in Moscow.

By the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 23 April 1999, the Union was granted national status.
