TheAll-African Trade Union Federation (AATUF) was aPan-Africantrade union organisation.

The confederation was formed in November 1959 on the initiative of presidentKwame Nkrumah ofGhana. The first independent organisation aiming to unite all African trade unions, it asked its affiliates not to hold membership of the two major global union confederations, theInternational Confederation of Free Trade Unions or theInternational Federation of Christian Trade Unions. However, many potential members disagreed with this approach, and instead formed the rivalAfrican Trade Union Confederation (ATUC).^[1]

The secretary of AATUF wasAmadou N'diaye. The assistant secretary general wasOchola Ogaye Mak'Anyengo.^[2] Its headquarters were initially inAccra, and later inDar es Salaam. By 1966, it had 31 affiliates, which claimed a total of 3,773,150 members.^[3]

In April 1973 AATUF merged with the ATUC and thePan-African Workers' Congress, to form theOrganisation of African Trade Union Unity (OATUU).^[1][4]
