The Uganda Patriotic Movement (UPM) is a defunct socialist[1] political party in Uganda. It was founded by Yoweri Museveni and was a left-wing splitter group from the Uganda People's Congress (UPC).[1]

The UPM participated in the December 1980 general elections, which were won by Milton Obote's UPC. The election results were disputed, leading Museveni to form the National Resistance Movement and its military wing, the National Resistance Army, with which he waged a guerrilla rebellion against Obote's government, beginning the Ugandan Bush War. The NRM became the country's ruling party after its victory from 1986 up to date.

The UPM has never been withdrawn by the Uganda Electoral Commission. It still exists, legally, as one of Uganda's political parties despite being dormant with no political activity since 1984. The current leadership of the UPM is not publicly known since the electoral commission keeps that data confidential.
