{{short description|Trade union of Italy}}
The '''Italian Union of Metalworkers''' ({{langx|it|Unione Italiana Lavoratori Metalmeccanici}}, UILM) is a [[trade union]] representing metalworkers in Italy.
The union was founded on 5 March 1950 and was a founding affiliate of the [[Italian Labour Union]] (UIL). Its leading figure was Arturo Chiari who, like most of the members, had previously been active in the [[Italian Federation of Metalworkers]]. By the end of the year, it claimed 400,000 members, being particularly strong at the [[FIAT]] factory in Turin, although by 1997, this had fallen to 100,453. Other general secretaries have included [[Giorgio Benvenuto]] and [[Luigi Angeletti]].<ref>{{cite web |title=La nostra storia |url=https://www.uilmnazionale.it/chi-siamo/la-nostra-storia/ |website=UILM |accessdate=22 September 2020}}</ref><ref name="ebbinghaus">{{cite book |last1=Ebbinghaus |first1=Bernhard |last2=Visser |first2=Jelle |title=Trade Unions in Western Europe Since 1945 |date=2000 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |location=Basingstoke |isbn=0333771125 |pages=408–409}}</ref>
