Country United Kingdom

The Nottinghamshire Miners' Association was a trade union in the United Kingdom.

The union was founded in 1881 to represent coal miners in Nottinghamshire.

During the UK General Strike of 1926, General Secretary George Alfred Spencer negotiated a return to work for some members, against the wishes of the union, and he was expelled.[1] He founded the Nottinghamshire Miners' Industrial Union, a split supported by most of the mine owners. The two organisations reunited in 1937,[2] as the Nottinghamshire Miners' Federated Union.

In 1945, the union became the Nottinghamshire Area of the National Union of Mineworkers. During the 1984-1985 miners' strike, the majority of the members broke away to form the Union of Democratic Mineworkers.
