Union Springs is a village in Cayuga County, New York, United States. The population was 1,197 at the 2010 census. The name is derived from the mineral springs near the village. Union Springs is in the western part of the town of Springport and is southwest of Auburn.

The village is south of the former Cayuga village of Gwau-gwah (Cayuga Castle), which became a Jesuit mission. The native village was a target of the Sullivan Expedition of 1779. After the war, a reservation was established for the Cayuga who returned, but they gave up their land rights before 1800.

Mineral springs near the village made the village an important health spa.

The village was incorporated in 1848.

The current mayor of Union Springs is Mayor Ed Trufant.

Union Springs is the location of Union Springs Academy - a Seventh-day Adventist boarding school.

The Peter Yawger House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The Almeron Durkee House, Charles Howland-William H. Chase House, and William Richardson House were listed in 2005.
