Prospect is a United Kingdom trade union which represents engineers, managers, scientists and other specialists in both the public and private sectors.

[2] It was announced on 30 August 2016 that Bectu members had overwhelmingly voted Yes to transfer its engagements to Prospect which took place on 1 January 2017.
