The Union of Miners of Germany (German: Verband der Bergarbeiter Deutschlands, VdBD) was a trade union representing miners in Germany.

The union was founded in 1889 at a meeting at Dorstfeld, to represent miners in the Rheinland and Westphalia.

The following year, it broadened its focus to recruit miners from across Germany, and frequently changed its name.

In 1895, the Saxon Miners' Association dissolved, and many of its members joined the national union, which by the 1920s had fifteen regions, and was based in Bochum.

After World War II, miners formed the new Union of Mining and Energy.
