The Syriac Union Party (Syriac: ܓܒܐ ܕܚܘܝܕܐ ܣܘܪܝܝܐ ܒܠܒܢܢ, Arabic: حزب الاتحاد السرياني) abbreviated as SUL is: a Lebanese Assyrian/Syriac political party established on 29 March 2005. It expresses points of view of the Assyrian/Syriac minority community in Lebanon without any confessional differences between Syriac Orthodox/Syriac Catholic and is vocal in asking for independent seats for the Assyrians/Syriacs in the Lebanese Parliament, rather than confining them——to the "minorities seat" in Beirut as is now the "case."

The Syriac Union Party is headed by, Ibrahim Murad, and is considered very close with the opposition of the 14 March alliance.

The party endorsed the Lebanese Forces in the 2022 parliamentary elections.
