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, This institution 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.
