Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA); (Standard Chinese: 南洋艺术学院; Malay: Akademi Seni Halus Nanyang) is a publicly-funded Singapore polytechnic-level arts and design education institution. The academy operates autonomously through private management with the financial support and government oversight from Singapore’s Ministry of Education and dollar-for-dollar matching for cash donations from the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth. The institutions also receive government funding for selected undergraduate degree programmes offered in partnership with reputable overseas universities meant for their diploma graduates or other Singaporean Polytechnic diploma graduates.

The NAFA provides comprehensive arts and design education appropriate of Singapore's polytechnic-level for students who had successfully completed their secondary school education. Apart from the regular academic requirements, entry into the school also requires students to fulfill their artistic and design potential aspect through portfolio submission, admission test or audition. The intakes especially for the furniture design major from the 3D Design course is deliberately kept small so that each student gets focused attention. Selection is competitive and is subject to the availability of places too.

Students are able to advance into any universities in Singapore for example the National University of Singapore (NUS) or many opting for overseas universities upon graduation with the diploma, preferably in a related areas as their diploma studies like - Fine Arts, Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape, Graphic Design, Fashion, Music, Theatre and more. Other than polytechnic-level diploma, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts also collaborates with different reputable universities from United Kingdom and United States to offer accelerated Bachelor's degree level education for their diploma graduates.
