Pompeu Fabra University (Catalan: Universitat Pompeu Fabra, UPF, pronounced [uniβəɾsiˈtat pumˈpɛw ˈfaβɾə]; Spanish: Universidad Pompeu Fabra) is a public university located in the city of Barcelona, Catalonia in Spain. Established in 1990 by the Autonomous Government of Catalonia and named after Pompeu Fabra, it is known for its competitiveness in research and commitment to transforming education for future challenges[citation needed].

UPF has been recognized as the best university in Spain since 2015 and was ranked the 16th best young university globally in 2022 by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. It is known for its academic prestige and selective admissions, with many of its degree programs requiring high entrance grades[citation needed].

The university excels in economics, political science, and law, with its Economics program ranked among the top 50 worldwide. The Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences is the only faculty in Spain to receive the Certificate for Quality in Internationalization. In 2010, UPF was designated an "International Excellence Campus" by the Spanish Ministry of Education.
