Arellano University (AU) is a private, coeducational and nonsectarian university located in Manila, Philippines. It was founded in 1938 as a law school by Florentino Cayco, Sr., the first Filipino Undersecretary of Public Instruction. AU was named after Cayetano Arellano, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. One of the components that make up AU is the autonomous Arellano University School of Law, managed by the Arellano Law Foundation. Its athletic team, the Arellano University Chiefs, is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association since 2009.

Arellano University began on 1938 when it was established as a law school by Florentino Cayco, Sr., the first Filipino Undersecretary of Public Instruction and an educator. The newly founded institution offers the regular four-year law course and was named as Arellano Law College. It was one of the well-known institution by that time by catering to numerous prolific people in the field of law and public service.

In the onset of World War II, the school was closed from 1941 to 1945. It was reopened on April 1945 and was renamed as the Arellano Colleges and has expanded its course offerings to the field of commerce, foreign service, and arts and sciences. On 1946, Florentino Cayco, Sr. became the school's first President and through his efforts, the institution was granted university status on 22 February 1947 by the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports and was accordingly renamed as Arellano University. AU continued its robust expansion with the offering of new courses and that translates into the addition of new colleges.
