Front of National Unity or National Unity Front (Polish: Front Jedności Narodu, FJN) was a Polish communist political organization supervising elections in People's Republic of Poland and also acting as a coalition for dominant Polish communist party (PZPR) and its allies. It was founded in 1952 as National Front (Front Narodowy) and renamed to Front of National Unity in 1956. It was the heir of the Democratic Bloc (Blok Demokratyczny) which run in the elections of 1947 before the merger between communists and socialists. The Front was subordinate to PZPR; its membership included all other Polish political parties and many organizations (such as trade unions). During elections it had a near monopoly (varied depending on particular time) on registering candidates who had the right to participate in the elections; it was de facto used by PZPR to ensure no real opposition candidate would be able to participate in the elections. In 1983 it was replaced by Patriotic Movement for National Rebirth (Patriotyczny Ruch Odrodzenia Narodowego, PRON).
