The Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (USDAW) is a trade union in the United Kingdom. It has over 390,000 members, the majority of whom are shop workers although the Union also has many members in transport, distribution, food manufacturing, chemicals and other trades. It has a reputation as one of the less militant unions, rarely organising industrial action.

The union was formed in 1947 by the merger of the National Union of Distributive and Allied Workers and the National Union of Shop Assistants, Warehousemen and Clerks.

There is also a managerial and supervisory section called Sata - the Supervisory, Administrative and Technical Association. This is a special section of the union representing employees in middle and lower management or with administrative or technical responsibilities.
