University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P; French: Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique) is a Moroccan non-profit private research university. Its main campus is located within the Green City of Benguerir. Centered on African development, the university is oriented towards applied research and innovation and is engaged in regional economic and human development. The university has a second major campus in Rabat (in the municipality of Salé), and antennae in Laâyoune, Paris, and Montreal. A suburban campus is set to open in El Jadida in 2034.

UM6P hosted its first cohort of students in 2013 on its Ben Guerir campus before being officially inaugurated on January 11, 2017. It has ambitions to become a leading research institution for collaborations between Africa and Europe, and hosts the most powerful supercomputer in Africa.

UM6P federates a number of schools and research institutes, some of which predate the existence of the university. It has numerous international partnerships with universities around the globe, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia Business School, Max Planck Society, HEC Paris, Mines ParisTech, the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, McGill University, and Sciences Po.
