The All Japan Federation of Metal Miners' Unions (Japanese: 全日本金属鉱山労働組合連合会, Zenko) was a trade union representing ore miners in Japan.

The union was founded in 1947,[1] and it later affiliated to the General Council of Trade Unions of Japan. By 1958, it had 57,000 members,[2] although membership fell to 31,984 by 1970,[3] and only 10,290 in 1980,[1] in line with a decline in employment in the industry.[4] In 1982, it merged into the new All Japan Federation of Non-Ferrous Metal Workers' Unions.[1]
