The United Andean Indian Mission (UAIM), was an ecumenical and interdenominational protestant mission, formed in the United States of America in 1946 with the purpose of working among the indigenous peoples in Ecuador, South America. The UAIM was created under the sponsorship of the Committee on Cooperation in Latin America, a multi-denominational agency that served as an umbrella organisation for all liberal protestantant missions in the region.

The constituent churches and denominations of the UAIM were: the Presbyterian Church in the United States (Southern), the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (Northern), the Evangelical and Reformed Church, and the Evangelical United Brethren Church.

In 1965, its congregations and parishes merged with those planted by missionaries of the Church of the Brethren, to form the United Evangelical Church of Ecuador (Iglesia Evangélica Unida del Ecuador or IEUE), which changed recently its name to United Evangelical Methodist Church of Ecuador.

At the time of the merger, the participating churches in the UAIM were: the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the United Church of Christ and the Disciples of Christ (the last two through their joint "Global Ministries").

The United Andean Indian Mission was one of the founding missions of the Ecuadorian Evangelical Fellowship (Confraternidad Evangélica Ecuatoriana), along with the Church of the Brethren, the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the Gospel Missionary Union, the Evangelical Covenant Church, the Missionary Church, World Mission Prayer League, Norwegian Santal Mission (now known as " [http://www.normisjon.no/ Normisjon] "), Christian Missions in Many Lands (Plymouth Brethren), HCJB, and many smaller missions and churches.
