The Hellenic Union of Romania (Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Uniunea Elenă din România, UER; Ένωση Ελλήνων της Ρουμανίας|translit=Énōsē Ellḗnōn tēs Roumanías, EER) is an ethnic minority political party in Romania representing the Greek community.
The UER contested the 1990 general elections, and despite receiving only 0.04% of the vote,[1] it won a single seat in the Chamber of Deputies under the electoral law that allows for political parties representing ethnic minority groups to be exempt from the electoral threshold. It has won a seat in every election since, including in the 2020 general elections, when it received 0.1% of the vote.[2]
