National Taiwan University (NTU; Chinese: 國立臺灣大學; pinyin: Guólì Táiwān Dàxué; colloquially, 台大; Táidà) is a national co-educational research university of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Located in Taipei, NTU consists of 11 colleges, 54 departments, 107 graduate institutes and four research centers. In 2016, there were 16,499 undergraduate and 15,284 graduate students.

The University was founded in 1928 during Japanese rule as Taihoku Imperial University. After World War II, the Republic of China government 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. Notable alumni include Tsai Ing-Wen, the current President of the Republic of China, former presidents Lee Teng-hui, Chen Shui-bian and Ma Ying-jeou, and Nobel Prize in Chemistry laureate Yuan T. Lee.

NTU is affiliated with National Taiwan Normal University and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology as part of the NTU System.

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