The Technical University of Varna (Bulgarian: Технически университет – Варна, often abbreviated as ТУ – Варна, TU – Varna) is a state university in Varna, Bulgaria, founded in 1962.

In the early 1940s, the State University in Varna, St. Cyril Slavyanobulgarski (Bulgarian: Държавния университет „Свети Кирил Славянобългарски“) had two faculties, Economics and Technology. These faculties formed the foundation of the Technical University of Varna and MEI-Varna. The city of Varna had expertise in areas such as shipbuilding, mechanics, and building auto-body parts. That knowledge and experience led to the development of the technical faculty into an institution. In the 1950s, professors and engineers from other technical universities joined the State University.

The lecture courses and practical engineering work were carried out in the State University/University of Economics-Varna building. From 1958, the State University was composed of 30 departments.

By order of the Bulgarian Socialist Party in 1962, a Mechanical-Electrical Engineering Institute (MEI-Varna) (Bulgarian: Машинно-електротехнически институт (МЕИ-Варна) was founded in Varna. This institute was the first of its specialization in North Bulgaria. In the first academic year, the institute did not have a faculty structure.

Oprev, also the university's first rector (chancellor), provided a stable beginning for the institute and established it as an important regional institution. In 1962, seven disciplines were included in the MEI-Varna:
