The Arab Maghreb Union (UMA) is a trade agreement aiming for economic and future political unity among Arab countries of the Maghreb in North Africa.

The Maghreb Union is a political and economic alliance with the aim of promoting cooperation and integration between the North West African states. The Union was founded in 1989 in Marrakesh (Morocco). The five member states cover an area of 5.78 million km² and around 108.41 million people. This is about 1.3% of the world's population.

The Arab Maghreb Union (AMU), established in 1989, not only improved relations between the Maghreb states—Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia—but also underscored the need for concerted policies.

The first Maghreb Summit of the five Heads of State, held at Zeralda (Algeria) in June 1988, resulted in a decision to set up the Maghreb High Commission and various specialized commissions. Finally, on February 17, 1989 in Marrakech, the Treaty establishing the AMU was signed by the Heads of State of the five countries.
