City, University of London is a public research university in London in the United Kingdom. Until 2016 it was the City University, London, or colloquially, just: City.

It was founded in 1894 as the Northampton Institute and became a university when The City University, London, was created by royal charter in 1966. The Inns of Court School of Law, which merged with City in 2001, was established in 1852, making it the former City University's oldest constituent part.

On 1 September 2016, City joined the federal University of London, becoming part of the 18 Colleges and ten research institutes that make up the University.

City, University of London, has its main campus in the Islington area of central London, with additional campuses in the City of London and the Holborn, Smithfield and Whitechapel areas of London. It is organised into seven schools, within which there are around 40 academic departments and centres, including: the Department of Journalism, the Cass Business School and the Inns of Court School of Law (part of the City Law School).

City had a total income of £178.6 million in 2010/11, of which £8 million was from research grants and contracts. Cass Business School is ranked 2nd in London and top 40 in the world. In 2016, City was ranked 18 in the University League Table issued by The Guardian. It was also included in Times Higher Education's list of the world's top 100 universities under 50 years of age. City, University of London, is a member of the Association of MBAs, EQUIS and Universities UK.
