City, University of London is a public research university in London in the United Kingdom. Until 2016 its name was City University, London, or colloquially, 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 City Law School which incorporates the Inns of Court School of Law.

In 2015/16, City had a total income of £217.5 million, of which £11.7 million was from research grants and contracts. In 2016, the university was ranked 27th in the Times Higher Education's 'Table of Tables' which combines the results of three main domestic league tables. Cass Business School is ranked 5th in the UK and top 40 in the world in the Financial Times' 2017 Global MBA Rankings.
