The United Revolutionary Front of East Turkestan (Chinese: 東突厥斯坦聯合革命陣線; URFET) was a Uyghur nationalist group in Xinjiang, that participated in the Xinjiang conflict as an armed separatist force. The group was supported logistically by the Soviet Union until 1989.[1]

The group was led by Yusupbek Mukhlisi, who lives in-exile with other former URFET members in Almaty, Kazakhstan.[2]
