Tatar State University of Humanities and Education (Russian: Татарский государственный гуманитарно-педагогический университет, Tatar: Татар дәүләт гуманитар-педагогика университеты) is a university in Kazan, Russian Federation. It was formed in 2005 by a merger of several institutions, some which had a particular focus on the use of Tatar as a medium of instruction or the study of the language itself, for example the Kazan State Pedagogical University and Tatar State Humanities Institute (the latter created in 1996 with the purpose of expanding Tatar-language higher education).
