The All-Russian Union of Landowners and Farmers (Шаблон:Lang-ru) was a right-wing party in Russia. At the time of the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Union of Landowners mobilized resistance to soviets and sought to defend private ownership of estates.[1]

The party began taking shape in 1916, as different landowners' groups across the country began to seek building a new national organization.[2] A constituent national congress of the party was held in Moscow on May 20, 1917, with over 300 delegates (both nobles and peasants) from 31 provinces.[3][4] Using the term 'constituent', the organization sought to distance itself from its 1905 predecessor.[4] A new council of the Union of Landowners, with N. N. L'vov as its chairman, was established.[4]

The party contested the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. Per the account of Lenin, which includes votes from 54 constituencies, the party obtained some 215,000 votes.[5]
