Keijō Imperial University (京城帝国大学 Keijō Teikoku Daigaku?, Korean: 경성제국대학), or Jōdai (城大?) for short, was an Imperial University of Japan from 1924 to 1946. Established in Gyeongsong (modern-day Seoul, South Korea, called Keijō during the Japanese occupation of Korea) in 1924, it was abolished by the United States Army Military Government in Korea (USAMGIK) in 1946, following the Japanese surrender to the Allies and withdrawal from its occupation of Korea at the end of World War II.
Keijō Imperial University was founded in 1924 as the sixth Imperial University of Japan during the period of Japanese rule, followed by Nagoya University and Osaka University in 1931 and 1939, respectively. While the other Imperial Universities located in Japan were run by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, Keijō Imperial University was run by the Governor-General of Korea.
