The National Union of Gold, Silver and Allied Trades (NUGSAT) was a trade union in Britain and Ireland.

The union was founded in Sheffield in 1910 as the Amalgamated Society of Gold, Silver and Kindred Trades,[1] merging several local societies both in Sheffield and Dublin. In 1914, it merged with the Birmingham Silversmiths and Electroplate Operatives union, assuming its final name.[2]

Membership remained low for many years - just over 200 in 1920, and fewer than 100 in 1930. It merged with the Society of Goldsmiths, Jewellers and Kindred Trades in 1969, pushing membership up to 250.[1] However, by 1979, it had risen to 2,308.[2] In 1981, NUGSAT merged with the Technical, Administrative and Supervisory Section, although its Ireland-based members instead joined the Irish Transport and General Workers Union.[1]
