The Union of Greens of Russia (UGR; Russian: Союз зелёных России; СЗР; Soyuz zelonykh Rossii, SZR) or Green Russia (Russian: Зелёная Россия; Zelonaya Rossiya) was a political party in Russia that was active from 2005 until 2006.

In 2005, the organization was founded as an independent party, but in 2006, it merged with the party Yabloko as an ecological faction "Green Russia". The "Union of Greens of Russia" and the faction "Green Russia" of Yabloko were headed by professor Alexey Yablokov, the founder of Greenpeace USSR in the 1980s.
