National Taiwan University (NTU; Chinese: 國立臺灣大學; pinyin: Guólì Táiwān Dàxué; colloquially, 台大; Táidà; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-tāi) is a national co-educational research university located in Taipei, Taiwan. Its 1,086,167 m2 main campus is located in Taipei's Da'an District. In addition, the university has 6 other campuses in Taipei and elsewhere, with a total area of 345,830,000 m2. The University consists of 11 colleges, 54 departments, 103 graduate institutes and 4 research centers. In 2015, the student body consisted of 16,533 undergraduate students and 15,225 graduate students.

The university was founded in 1928 by the Japanese administration during the Japanese colonial era and was then known as the Taihoku Imperial University. After World War II, the government of the Republic of China resumed the administration of the University, reorganizing and renaming it National Taiwan University on November 15, 1945.

NTU is considered the most prestigious university in Taiwan and ranks among the top 150 universities in the world on most surveys. It also has strong ties with the Academia Sinica in Taiwan in the form of research and academic collaborations and a joint program office.

National Taiwan University has its origins in the Taihoku Imperial University (Japanese: 臺北帝國大學 Hepburn: Taihoku Teikoku Daigaku?) founded by Taiwan's Japanese colonial government in 1928 as a member of the imperial university system administered by the Empire of Japan.
