The University of Cebu (UC; Cebuano: Unibersidad sa Sugbo; Filipino: Pamantasan ng Cebu) is a private, non-sectarian, coeducational higher education institution located in Cebu City, Philippines. Founded in 1964 by Atty. Augusto W. Go as the Cebu College of Commerce, it was renamed Cebu Central Colleges in 1972 before achieving university status in 1992. UC provides K-12 basic education, undergraduate, and graduate degree programs across multiple campuses in Metro Cebu through its departments, colleges and schools.

It operates a multi-campus system across Metro Cebu, including UC Main, UC Banilad, UC Lapu‑Lapu–Mandaue (UC-LM), UC Maritime (UC-METC), UC South (Pardo–Talisay), and a medical complex-the UC Medical Center (UCMed) which houses the UC School of Medicine. At present, UC has more than 60,000 students enrolled across its campuses, making it the largest private university in the Philippines.
