The Progressive Unionist Party (PUP) is a small unionist political party in Northern Ireland. It was formed from the Independent Unionist Group operating in the Shankill area of Belfast becoming the PUP in 1979. Linked to the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) it was for a time the only left-wing party of unionism in Northern Ireland with its main support base in the loyalist working-class communities of Belfast.
