The Union of the Democratic Centre (Spanish: Unión de Centro Democrático, UCD, also translated as "Democratic Centre Union") was an electoral alliance, and later political party, in Spain, existing from 1977 to 1983. It was initially led by Adolfo Suárez (1977-1981) and then by Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo (1981-1982). It was dissolved in 1983 following ideological splits and member deflections to other parties, such as the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party or the People's Alliance.
