King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok (Abrv: KMUTNB Thai: มจพ.; Thai: มหาวิทยาลัยเทคโนโลยีพระจอมเกล้าพระนครเหนือ, RTGS: Maha Witthayalai Teknoloyi Phra Jom Khlao Phra Nakhon Nuea), colloquially known as Phra Nakhon Nuea (Thai: พระนครเหนือ) is a public technology university in Thailand.
KMUTNB was jointly founded by the Royal Thai Government and the Federal Republic of Germany as the North Bangkok Technical School in 1959; colloquially known as Thai-German Technical School. In 1964, the school was upgraded to "Thai-German Technical College" before becoming King Mongkut's Institute of Technology North Bangkok Campus in 1971. Later in 1986, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology separated into three autonomous universities and the North Bangkok campus became King Mongkut's Institute of Technology North Bangkok. In 1995, KMUTNB extended its educational obligations to the rural areas, leading to the creation of the Prachinburi campus in Prachinburi province. Later in 2007, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology North Bangkok was renamed "King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok " and became an autonomous state university.
Presently, the university has three campuses located in Bangkok, Rayong and Prachinburi provinces. It has 13 faculties, 2 colleges and 2 graduate schools. Degrees offered range from vocational certificate to doctorates.
