Ruthenian Uniate Church (Latin: Ecclesia Ruthena unita; Polish: Ruski Kościół Unicki) is a historical church that existed in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth following the Union of Brest and was majorly dissolved following partition of the Commonwealth with most of the church eparchies (dioceses) being converted into the Russian Orthodoxy.
Following the partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the church majorly dissolved on territory that was annexed by the Russian Empire. On territory that was annexed by the Austrian Empire, the church was preserved but was reorganized as Greek Catholic Church under Galician Metropolitan, today better known as Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
Creation of the church led to high degree of confrontation among Ruthenians among most notable was a murder of Josaphat Kuntsevych. The union of Brest that was also perceived as part of Catholisation and Polonization processes contributed to the Khmelnytskyi Uprising.

Notes
^ In 1893, Russian painter Ilya Repin "depicted the moment when a Jesuit encourages residents of Vitebsk join the union," in a drawing on the theme of "preaching Kuntsevych".[1]
