The international (SI) unit is the newton. It is defined by Newton's Second Law: it is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram, at a rate of 1 meter/second/second.

To get an idea of its magnitude: at normal Earth gravity, a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newton. (A weight is a force.)
