The Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists (Конгрес українських націоналістів) is a far-right political party formed by members of the Ukrainian expat community associated with the original OUN-B (Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists - Bandera) movement.

The KUN had a paramilitary affiliate known as Trident, which was a founding constituent of the Right Sector movement, but Trident later splintered from the KUN and became independent, the KUN then formed the Youth Nationalist Congress to replace them, which itself later became independent as well:

In 1999, due to ideological differences and different visions of the political situation, the OUN-KUN-Trident alliance disintegrated. Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists created a new force structure - the Youth Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists (ICCUN), which in 2001. changed its name to Youth Nationalist Congress (MNC) and declared organizational independence from the CUN6.

The KUN, Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, Svoboda, Right Sector, and C14 cooperated in the 2019 Ukrainian Presidential elections, endorsing a joint candidate, Ruslan Koshulinsky of Svoboda1.
