The International Federation of Chemical and General Workers' Unions (IFCGW) was a global union federation of trade unions.

The federation was founded in 1964, when the International Federation of General Factory Workers merged with the International Federation of Industrial Organizations and General Workers' Unions. Initially, the organisation was in competition with the International Federation of Petroleum and Chemical Workers, but that collapsed in 1976, with many of its affiliates joining the IFCGW, which renamed itself as the "International Federation of Chemical, Energy and General Workers' Unions" (ICEF). Membership accordingly rose from four million to 6.3 million by 1992.[1][2]

In 1995, the ICEF merged with the Miners' International Federation to form the International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine and General Workers' Unions.[1]
