Fu Jen Catholic University (FJU or simply Fu Jen; Chinese: 輔仁大學), formerly The Catholic University of Peking, is a private, co-educational university founded by the Holy See, located in New Taipei City, Taiwan. It is the oldest Jesuit-Catholic university in the Sinophone world and is known for its strong ties with the Roman Curia. It takes its name from the Chinese meaning "assistance" and "benevolence". Among the Chinese, it is colloquially known as "FǔDà" (輔大). Fu Jen was ranked as one of Asia's top 100 and world's top 500 universities, its transnational joint master's program "jMGEM" was ranked 58th globally by Financial Times in 2015. To date, it is the 5th best ranked business school, top 8 colleges in alumni employment and the second largest university in the number of students in the country.

Fu Jen has many collaborative institutions and exchange programs with other colleges in G8 countries, such as Stanford University in the US, the University of Oxford in the UK and Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Italy. In Taiwan, it is the only university with an Italian Language and Literature Department. Its College of Management was the first one there with AACSB accreditation (2005). Also the College of Medicine was the earliest to promote PBL, developed at McMaster University Medical School in Canada, as pedagogy for medical education. Fu Jen alumni are referred to as "FǔDàRén" (輔大人). They include the Premier Lin Chuan, former First Lady Wang Guangmei, a number of politicians represented in the Legislative Yuan and professors at various world-class institutions.
