The Seikatsu Club Consumers’ Co-operative Union (SCCCU; ) is a Japanese federation of consumer co-operatives headquartered in Tokyo. It was formed in 1965 and has 307,000 members, most of whom are women.

SCCCU is divided into groups of households who order food collectively and offers only 3,000 products, and mostly staple foods. As the co-operative federation is concerned with food safety, it buys organic food and shuns those generated from genetically modified organisms. SCCCU also produces its own milk and biodegradable soap.

In 1979, SCCCU started running candidates for political office through the Tokyo Seikatsusha Network and now has over 100 members who serve as local councillors.

The federation received a Right Livelihood Award in 1989 "for creating the most successful, sustainable model of production and consumption in the industrialised world."
