The Central Union of Potters (German: Zentralverband der Töpfer) was a trade union representing pottery workers in Germany. A union of potters was founded in 1873, but dissolved in 1878 as a result of the Anti-Socialist Laws. From 1884, a series of congresses of potters were held, and the seventh congress, in 1892, established the new Central Union of Potters. This affiliated to the General Commission of German Trade Unions, and by 1904, it had 10,241 members. In 1907, the union, led by Adam Drunsel, founded the International Secretariat of Potters.
