Sahrawi Youth Union (Spanish: Unión de la Juventud de Saguía el Hamra y Río de Oro; Arabic: اتحاد شبيبة الساقية الحمراء ووادي الذهب, romanized: Ittiḥād Shabībat al-Sāqiyah al-Ḥamrāʼ wa-Wādī al-Dhahab), also known by its Spanish acronym UJSARIO, is the youth organization of the Polisario Front.

UJSARIO was founded in 1984 through the merger of Unión de Estudiantes Saharauis (Sahrawi Students' Union or UESARIO) and the Polisario Front Youth.
