United Mizo Freedom Organisation, a political party in the Lushai Hills (today the Indian state of Mizoram). UMFO was founded on April 9, 1946. At the time of Indian independence, UMFO was the second largest political force in the area.
UMFO demanded the unification of the Lushai Hills with Burma.
In the 1951 Assam (which the Lushai Hills at that time was part of) state assembly elections, UMFO put up three candidates. None was elected. In total the party received 9070 votes (23,76% of the votes in those three constituencies).
In 1955 UMFO merged with the Eastern Indian Tribal Union.
