U.N.I.T., or more simply, UNIT, was a transnational paramilitary organisation that was initially led by Brigadier Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart until the late 20th century, and operated under the auspices of the United Nations until the mid-2000s. UNIT's anacronym originally stood for the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce, though after dissociation from the UN, the organisation became to be known as the Unified Intelligence Taskforce. Operations performed by UNIT were almost always classified, thus leaving the organisation to garner a secret, and even mysterious, reputation.

While technically there existed a distinction between the organisation as a whole and its contingency in the United Kingdom, which once known as UNIT-UK, the keystone of the organisation was the UK contingency; indeed, the operations from the UK were almost always the most pivotal, and any international divisions were entirely subsidiary to the UK operation.
