The University of Palestine (UP; Arabic: جامعة فلسطين) is a private Palestinian university located in Al-Zahra' (south of Gaza City). The university was established in 2005, making it one of Gaza's youngest higher education institutions.

Across its seven colleges, UP offers four non-degree diploma programs in addition to its standard four-year programs. Besides its Al-Zahra headquarters, it has subsidiary branches in Khan Younis and Beit Lahiya. The university's primary scholarship system is merit-based, with award amounts largely dependent on students' Tawjihi scores; it also offers legacy financial aid.

The university offers an open access repository for scholarly output by research centers, faculty staff and students, as well as a published Arabic Lightweight OpenCourseWare. Along with a stadium, the university also had a legal clinic, multiple medical clinics, an English Language Proficiency Center, a 30,000-book library and an engineering office.

UP has cooperative partnerships with multiple international universities, primarily in the Middle East, including Cairo University, Alexandria University, Daffodil International University in Bangladesh, Universitat de Barcelona, and others.

UP's main campus was destroyed by the Israeli military on January 17, 2024.
