United Centre (Ukrainian: Єдиний Центр, Yedynyi Tsentr) is a Ukrainian political party. It is an offspring of Our Ukraine. Legally United Centre is the successor of the Party of Private Property (Ukrainian: Партія приватної власності; Partija Privatnoi Vlasnosti), registered with the Ministry of Justice on September 24, 1999. The party changed its name to United Centre in March 2008.
The party won 3 seats in the Ukrainian parliament in the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election; but in February 2013 its member Pavlo Baloha was deprived of his deputy seats by the Higher Administrative Court of Ukraine because it had established that the election results in the single-member districts in which he was elected had been "unreliable".
