The University of Macau (UM, UMac or UMacau, Portuguese: Universidade de Macau, Chinese: 澳門大學) is a public research university located in Macau. It is the leading tertiary institution in the city. It was founded in 1981 as the University of East Asia, 18 years before the transfer of Macau from Portugal to China. The University of Macau is the Special Administrative Region's (SAR) first modern university, and the largest university in terms of faculty size and programmes offered.

Its predecessor, the University of East Asia (UEA) was a private university founded by a group of University of Hong Kong alumni, and most students were from Hong Kong, then under British rule. Prior to the transfer of sovereignty, it was acquired by the Portuguese administration and reformed as a public university following Portuguese university structure. UEA was then renamed University of Macau by Decree-Law 50/91/M in 1991.

It is now the only public comprehensive university in Macau, organised into seven academic faculties and ten residential colleges. The main medium of instruction is English, while certain courses are taught in Chinese, Portuguese and Japanese.
