Union Township is one of fourteen townships in Clinton County, Indiana. As of the 2010 census, its population was 973 and it contained 395 housing units. The township's name refers to its creation from the northern part of Center Township and the southern part of Owen.

Organized in 1889, Union was the last of Clinton County's townships to be created. It was formed as the result of dissatisfaction among the residents of northern Center Township with "a tax donation made to secure the Clover Leaf shops at Frankfort."

According to the 2010 census, the township has a total area of 19.91 square miles (51.6 km2), of which 19.8 square miles (51 km2) (or 99.45%) is land and 0.11 square miles (0.28 km2) (or 0.55%) is water.
