The Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino (English: Coalition of United Filipinos), also known as the United Opposition, was the electoral alliance of the dominant opposition in the Philippines during the 2004 Philippine general election. The KNP was composed of Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan and Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino.
The main core of the KNP was the Angara wing of the LDP, which split in late 2003 over the issue of who would be its standard bearer. Majority of LDP members led by Senator Edgardo Angara supported the presidential bid of actor Fernando Poe Jr. The other major party under the coalition was the PMP of deposed president Joseph Estrada.
The KNP fielded Poe and Loren Legarda as its candidates for president and vice president in the 2004 Philippine presidential election. After the 2004 elections, the KNP was replaced by Jejomar Binay-led Genuine Opposition as the main opposition coalition.
