Somali African National Union (SANU) (Arabic: الاتحاد الافريقي الوطني الصومالي)[1] was an early political party in Somalia.

The party was at the time the only political ally of the larger Somali Youth League (SYL).

However, the parties emphasized that the Four-Power Commission should administer the transitional trusteeship body rather than the Italian or Ethiopian authorities.
