The Islamic University of Madinah (Arabic: الجامعة الإسلامية بالمدينة المنورة) is a public Islamic university in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Established by King Saud bin Abdulaziz in 1961, the institute is said to have been associated with Salafism, while claiming to have exported Salafi-inclined theologians around the world. Others disagree and state that the institution is objective and scientific, being detached to any singular ideology. It received institutional academic accreditation without exceptions from the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment in April 2017.

This university is designated only for Muslim male students.

Islamic science colleges

University students may study Sharia, Qur'an, Usul al-din and Hadith, while non-native speakers may also study Arabic language. The university offers Bachelor of Arts, Master's and Doctorate degrees. Studies at the College of Sharia Islamic law were the first to start when the university opened. It offers scholarship programs for students with accommodation and living expenses covered.

Recently added colleges

In 2009, the university opened a Faculty of Engineering. In 2011 the university opened a Faculty of Computer and Information Science. In 2012, the university opened a Faculty of Science for the first time. In 2019, the university announced that it would open a faculty of Judiciary Studies.

Online degrees

In 2019, the university announced that it would begin to offer online degrees through a new e-learning and distance education program. The university currently offers an online bachelor of arts in Sharia and a certificate-granting program in Arabic language for non-native speakers.
