The National Union of Vehicle Workers was a trade union representing drivers in the United Kingdom.

The union was founded in 1888 as the London Carmen's Trade Union. By the following year, it had a membership of more than 6,000, but this then began to fall, bottoming out at only 2,000 in 1892. It then slowly began to rise, nearing 6,000 again by 1910.[1]

In 1913, the union was renamed as the "National Union of Vehicle Workers". It affiliated to the National Transport Workers' Federation, and became a founding constituent of the Transport and General Workers' Union in 1922.[1][2]
