Unify Gathering is an annual Australian music festival held in South Gippsland, Victoria, featuring artists of various genres including rock, metal, and punk.

Originally started in 2015 as a two-day music and camping festival, the event expanded to three days in 2017; with attendance increasing from 3,000 in 2015[1] to 5,000 in 2016, and 7,500 for 2017 and 2018.[2] In 2019, the festival moved to a new location in Tarwin Meadows, 5 minutes away from the previous site at the Tarwin Lower Recreation Reserve.[3] After being forced to cancel the 2021 instalment due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[4] the festival returned in 2022 with an all-Australian lineup. As of October 2022, no announcement has been made regarding a 2023 instalment or the future of the festival.
