Potato virus U (PVU) is a pathogenic plant virus discovered in Peru in 1983.

[1] PVU characteristically causes leaf malformation and necrotic spotting.

Transmitted by mechanical inoculation—including seed-to-seed contact and grafting—PVU is also said to be transferred by nematodes of the genus Longidorus.
