The Civil and Public Services Union (CPSU) was an Irish trade union for clerical and administrative grades in the civil service, the wider public sector and the private sector.[2] It was a member of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions.

The union was founded in 1922 by the Dublin branch of the Civil Service Clerical Association.[2]

At the start of 2018, the CPSU merged with the Irish Municipal, Public and Civil Trade Union and the Public Service Executive Union to form Fórsa.[3]
