List of United Progressive Alliance candidates in the 2009 Indian general election

This article contains the full list of candidates fielded by the United Progressive Alliance in the 2009 Indian general election. Official candidates were fielded on a total of 535 seats, one per each seat, predominantly by the Indian National Congress, but also by thirteen allied parties. Independent candidates were fielded on two seats. Official candidates were not fielded in Saran, Vidisha, Hardoi, Ambedkar Nagar, Lalganj, Ballia, Jaunpur and Ghazipur. The official candidates won 262 out of 535 seats.

188 unofficial candidates were fielded in friendly fights by allied parties, across 171 seats. In Tura, the unofficial candidate fielded by the Nationalist Congress Party defeated the official candidate of the Indian National Congress, the only instance of an unofficial candidate winning a seat. This brought the total seats won by the allied parties to 263.

The seat-sharing summary table lists the total number of candidates, both official and unofficial. The state-wise tables below list all the official candidates and only significant unofficial candidates, i.e., those who secured more than 2.75% of the popular vote or else secured more votes than the margin by which the official candidate lost a seat.
