A new type of scalar potential inspired by unparticles is proposed for the electroweak symmetry breaking. The interaction between the standard model fields and unparticle sector is described by the non-integral power of fields that originates from the nontrivial scaling dimension of the unparticle operator. We find that unlike the usual integral-power potential, the electroweak symmetry is broken at tree level. The scale invariance of unparticle sector is also broken simultaneously, resulting in a physical Higgs and a lighter scalar particle.
