The University of New England Postgraduate Association (UNEPA) was the representative body for postgraduate students at the University of New England, Australia.

UNEPA was founded in 1980 to help better represent the needs of postgraduate students at the university (and in particular research students) and, after humble beginnings, it's services and facilities evolved to the point that it operated a rest area and computer lab (Writer's Block), conducted a regular series of seminars and provided support functions, as well as the publication of a regular newsletter (Graduate Post).

Following the introduction of voluntary student unionism, UNEPA was dissolved at a special general meeting of the members in late November 2006.
