The Conservative Union (), until 1897 known as the Silvelist Party or the Silvelists (), was a Spanish political party created by Francisco Silvela. Originally a faction within the Conservative Party, it established itself as a full party in October 1897.
Following his appointment as prime minister in 1899, Silvela became the undisputed leader of the Conservative Party.
