Uns är ett gammalt svenskt viktmått, som beroende på vad som vägdes motsvarade runt 28 g. Det byggde ursprungligen på den gamla romerska enheten uncia = 27,3 g. I Sverige motsvarade för guld 1 uns 27,9 g, för silver 26,3 g och som medicinalvikt motsvarade 1 uns 29,69 g. De här omnämnda svenska viktmåtten började officiellt avvecklas under mitten av 1800-talet till förmån för nutida måttsystem.
