Oakland City University (OCU) is a private university affiliated with the General Baptist Church and located in Oakland City, Indiana. It is the only General Baptist Church-affiliated college or university in the United States. Founded in 1885, it has slowly grown to a total enrollment of about 655.
In addition to the institution's Oakland City main campus, the university operated satellite campuses in Evansville, Indianapolis, Rockport and Bedford.

The Bedford campus was housed in the former headquarters of the Indiana Limestone Company until it was moved to the StoneGate Arts & Education Center in 2018 and later closed. The Evansville site closed in 2025.
