Sorbonne University (French: Sorbonne Universités [sɔʁbɔn ynivɛʁsite]) is a group of 11 academic institutions associated with the Sorbonne University. After the fusion between Paris-Sorbonne University and Pierre and Marie Curie University, under the name "Sorbonne University" (in French "Sorbonne Université") in 2018 , the group "Sorbonne University" (in French "Sorbonne Universités") will change its name so that there is no confusion between the group associated with the university and the actual university.

It was founded in June 2010 by, at that time by]: Panthéon-Assas University , Paris-Sorbonne University and Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University. The two latter will be merged in 2018 into Sorbonne University and Panthéon-Assas is now an associate member. 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, law, human and social science, engineering, business management, and arts.
