Unity (; transliterated: al-Wahda) is one of the 26 wilayat or states of Sudan. It has an area of 35,956 km² and an estimated population of approximately 175,000 (2000). Bentiu is the capital of the state. It has nine districts and is the location of some rich oil fields.

While the national government in Khartoum maintains the name Unity, the new autonomous government of South Sudan refers to the state as Western Upper Nile. Prior to an administrative reorganization in 1994, Unity was part of a much large province of Upper Nile.

Unity is inhabited by two ethnic groups, the Nuer (majority) and the Dinka (minority). The nine districts which comprise the state are Mayom, Rubkona, Parieng, Leer, Guit, Koch, abeimnom, Mayendit and Payinjiar.
