Sorbonne University (French: Sorbonne Universités [sɔʁbɔn ynivɛʁsite]) is a group of 11 university institutions, created on the basis of the old University of Paris. This group is a first step toward a merge of the relevant universities into Sorbonne University.

It was founded by Panthéon-Assas University (now an associate member), Paris-Sorbonne University and Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University in June 2010. Other members include the INSEAD, the University of Technology of Compiègne, the National Museum of Natural History, and research centers such as the French National Centre for Scientific Research, the French Institute of Health and Medical Research, the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation, and the French Institute of Research for the Development.

The group comprises nearly 60 000 students annually, of which 5 000 are Ph.D. students.

Members of the group have set up many projects altogether to strengthen the relations between them and create new academic courses and research programs in the fields of science, medicine, human and social science, engineering, business management, and arts.
