Teikyo University is a private university in Japan, founded in 1966.

Its undergraduate teaching is organised into faculties covering medicine, pharmacy, economics, law, literature, foreign languages, education, science and engineering, and medical technology, with a separate medical technology faculty in Fukuoka. Several of these faculties are based on the Hachioji Campus in western Tokyo, while the Faculty of Medicine studies alongside a specialised university hospital.

Graduate study is offered through master's-level schools that mirror most of the undergraduate fields and add health sciences, teaching and public health. Students who want a professional route can find degree programmes in areas such as medicine and pharmacy, where the curriculum combines classroom learning with clinical or practical training.

The university also runs a junior college, which has its own admissions pages.

The institution publishes information for prospective students, current students, graduates, parents, companies and researchers, and its news pages report on research, club activities, international exchange and community partnerships. International applicants should check the admissions pages for each faculty, since entry requirements and application procedures are set at faculty or graduate-school level.
