The United Conservative Party was a right-wing Chilean party founded in December 1953 after the merger of the Traditionalist Conservative Party and parts of the Social Christian Conservative Party, issued from the Conservative Party. It supported for the 1958 presidential election the candidacy of Jorge Alessandri and participated, along with the Liberal Party, in its government. In 1962, it participated to the Democratic Front of Chile center-right coalition which opposed the left-wings FRAP coalition and supported for the 1964 presidential election Julio Duran (who obtained less than 5% of the votes).
Following the low results obtained at the 1965 legislative elections, the United Conservative Party merged in 1966 with the Liberal Party and the Partido Accion Nacional , thus creating the National Party.
