The Unité Spéciale de la Police (USP) (English: Special Police Unit) is the tier one police tactical unit of the Grand Ducal Police that was created in Luxembourg in 1999. It is tasked with responding to especially dangerous situations such as hostage rescue operations, arrests of dangerous individuals, bomb threats, and dignitary protection duties.

The unit trains abroad with comparable units, in particular the Belgian DSU and German SEK.
