The Confederation of Independent Trade Unions of Bulgaria (KNSB/CITUB; Bulgarian: Конфедерация на независимите синдикати в България, romanized: Konfederatsiya na nezavisimite sindikati v Balgariya) is a trade union confederation in Bulgaria. The CITUB is Bulgaria's largest, most influential and well-established trade union, having several times more members than its largest rival - KT Podkrepa.
The KNSB is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation and the European Trade Union Confederation.
In addition to its unionist activities, the CITUB also has a research department dubbed the Institute for Social and Syndicalist Studies, which analyzes social and economic issues, conducts polls and publishes informational bulletins.
