The Economic Union (Шаблон:Lang-de) was a parliamentary group in the German Empire's Reichstag, gathering deputies of several minor antisemitic[1] and agrarian parties.

Its component parties were the antisemitic German Social and Christian Social parties as well as the German Agrarian League and the Bavarian Peasants' League. Moreover it included some nonpartisan representatives who were direct members of the Economic Union.

The group's initial leader was Max Liebermann von Sonnenberg

Following World War I it merged into the German People's Party.[5]
