The United Bermuda Party (UBP) was a political party in Bermuda. It represented itself as centrist party in favour of a moderate social and fiscal agenda. Having held power in Bermuda's House of Assembly continuously from 1968 to 1998, the 47-year-old party officially ceased operations on 30 June 2011 after the majority of its members joined the One Bermuda Alliance.
An attempt to revive the party by leader Kim Swan and MP Charlie Swan lasted from November 15, 2011 to November 14, 2012, when they both announced that they would contest the next election as independents.
