The Arab Maghreb Union ( ; transliterated: ; romanized: Ittihad al-Maghrib al-Araby, French UMA for Union du Maghreb arabe) is a trade agreement aiming for economic and some sort of future political unity in North Africa between the countries Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Mauritania. The term "Arab Maghreb Union" is considered Arab-centric, as it does not recognize the Berber population present in all 5 nations.

The union is currently inactive and frozen, due to deep political disagreements between Morocco and Algeria.
