Unified European Left Group (UEL) is a group in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, formed by 39 MPs from various centre-left and left-wing parties in 13 countries. Laura Castel (Spain) and George Loucaides (Cyprus) are Co-President of the group.

The UEL operates in the framework set out by PACE: to promote and protect human rights, rule of law and democracy.
