The Union of Peoples of Cameroon (French Union des populations du Cameroun, English Union of the Peoples of Cameroon, UPC symbol ) is a political party in Cameroon, founded on 10 April 1948 in a cafe in Douala - Bassa called "At Sierra ".

She was a section of the West African colonial party Rassemblement Démocratique Africain. The party published the La Voix du Cameroun, Lumiere, Étoile and the Vérité.
