Baghdad University (Arabic: جامعة بغداد, Jaama'a Baghda'ad) is the largest university in Baghdad, Iraq, commissioned by the Royal Government of Iraq in the late 1950's and situated near the Tigris river. Its buildings were designed by Walter Gropius, American Institute of Architects, Louis McMillen and Robert McMillan of The Architects Collaborative, who commenced their master plan in the 1950's for a new University Campus for the Colleges of Engineering, Sciences and Liberal Arts for a total of 6,800 students.

Mustansiriya University, one of the oldest Islamic universities in the world, was incorporated into Baghdad University in 1962. Its main focus is on teaching law and literature.

The campus was expanded in 1982 to accommodate 20,000 students plus support facilities. Architect Hisham N. Ashkouri and Robert Owen developed the full academic space program for the entire campus.
