The '''Motor Industry Combined Workers' Union''' (MICWU) was a [[trade union]] representing workers in vehicle manufacturing and servicing, and also petrol attendants, in South Africa.

The union was founded in 1961, to represent "coloured" workers who had previously been part of another union, as the unions were compelled to divide on racial lines.<ref name="fes">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The new union affiliated to the [[Trade Union Council of South Africa]], and by 1980, it had 13,135 members. That year, it absorbed the Motor Industries Union of South Africa, which it had previously established to represent black workers..<ref name="miller">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

In 1987, under the leadership of Des East, the union merged with the [[Metal and Allied Workers' Union]], the [[National Automobile and Allied Workers' Union]] and the United Metal, Mining and Allied Workers of South Africa, to form the [[National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa]].<ref name="fes" /><ref></ref>
