National Union of Footwear, Leather and Allied Trades
- National Union of Footwear, Leather and Allied Trades

The National Union of Footwear, Leather and Allied Trades (NUFLAT) was a trade union in the United Kingdom.
The union was founded in 1971, with the merger of the Amalgamated Society of Leather Workers, the National Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives, the National Union of Glovers and Leather Workers and the National Union of Leather Workers and Allied Trades.[1] Although initially a strong union with many closed shop agreements,[2] its membership fell rapidly due to large-scale redundancies in the industry.[3] In 1991, it merged with the National Union of Hosiery and Knitwear Workers to form the National Union of Knitwear, Footwear and Apparel Trades.[4] By the time of the merger, membership had falled to 22,894.[5]
