The Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania, (also Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania; Romanian: Uniunea Democrată Maghiară din România, UDMR Hungarian: Romániai Magyar Demokrata Szövetség, RMDSz) is the main political organisation representing the ethnic Hungarians of Romania.
Officially organised as a political alliance (not as a party), UDMR nevertheless acts as one of the main parties of Romania. From 1996 until the 2008 Romanian legislative elections, UDMR was a member or supporter of every government. After the 2008 elections, UDMR entered opposition, but at the end of 2009 it became once again a member of the government coalition.
