The Zimbabwe African People's Union was a political party in Zimbabwe.

It was banned in 1962 by the Rhodesian colonial government, and was later engaged in a guerilla war against it. The armed wing of ZAPU was known as Zimbabwe Peoples Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA).

In general ZAPU was a pro- Soviet orientation, whereas ZANU had a pro- Chinese orientation.

In 1980 it contested the first free elections in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, but lost its rival the ZANU. It merged into ZANU-PF in 1987.
