The Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, (Ukrainian: Блок Юлії Тимошенко, БЮТ; Blok Yuliyi Tymoshenko, BYuT) is the name of the subsequently created political coalitions in Ukraine led by the charismatic female politician Yulia Tymoshenko.

It may refer to one or several of the following:

• the Yulia Tymoshenko Electoral Bloc on the 2002 parliamentary election
• the "Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc" parliamentary faction formed by the above-mentioned bloc
• the "Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc" on the 2006 parliamentary election.

Unlike the two subsequent "Blocs of Viktor Yushchenko", all three political unions of Tymoshenko are considered to retain largely the same leaders and positions.

The 2002 electoral bloc

At the parliamentary elections on 30 March 2002 the alliance comprised the following liberal and nationalist member parties:

• Motherland Party (Bat'kivshchyna Partiya), also rendered as All-Ukrainian United Patriots (Vseukrajins’ke Ob’ednannja Bat’kivščyna)
• Ukrainian People's Party Assembly (Ukrajins’ka Narodna Partija Sobor)
• Ukrainian Republican Party (Ukrajinska Respublikanska Partija)
• Ukrainian Social Democratic Party (Ukrajins’ka Social-Demokratyčna Partija)

The bloc won 7.2% of the popular vote and 21 out of 450 seats.

The alliance supported Viktor Yushchenko during the Ukrainian presidential election of 2004, and played an active role in the widespread acts of civil disobedience that became known as the Ukrainian Orange Revolution.

The 2006 electoral bloc

The results of the parliamentary elections on 26 March 2006 have seen Yulia Tymoshenko move into second place with 22,27% of the vote behind Party of Regions who had 33% and ahead of Our Ukraine who received less than 14% support. It won 129 seats out of 450. After 3 months of negoitiations and a coalition agreement it wass widely expected that a coalition between supporters of the orange movement will form Ukraine's next government. But after the election of Oleksandr Moroz as speaker of parlement the coalition collapsed.
