The Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (officially abbreviated as BIAD) was the art and design faculty of Birmingham City University in Birmingham, England. It has now been merged into the university's Faculty of Arts, Design and Media, and is based at the Birmingham City University City Centre Campus campus and Margaret Street for Fine Art.

BIAD dates back, in various incarnations, to the year 1843. It reached its full maturity from the 1890s, as the Birmingham Municipal School of Art at Margaret Street, under the leadership of Edward R. Taylor. BIAD's Archives holds extensive records on the history of art & design in Birmingham, and 20 similar collections have also been deposited with the archives.

The main BIAD campus and library is located at The Parkside Building, just north of Birmingham city centre, and about three-quarters of a mile from both Birmingham New Street railway station and the Custard Factory quarter. It is adjacent to Aston University.

There are also smaller centres located in: Margaret Street (former Birmingham School of Art) (Fine Art) in the city centre next to Birmingham Central Library and Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery; and Vittoria Street (School of Jewellery) in the city's Jewellery Quarter.
