The United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) was established in 1971 by a Memorandum of Agreement among the United Nations (UN), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Health Organization (WHO), pursuant to resolution 2741 (XXV) of the United Nations General Assembly. It was created as an inter-organization facility to provide electronic data processing services for themselves and other users.

UNICC provides information and communications technology (ICT) services to United Nations programmes, funds, and entities. Its mission is to provide ICT services to the United Nations family, maximise the sharing of infrastructure, systems and skills and generate economies of scale to benefit its clients and partner organizations, including United Nations and related not-for-profit entities.

UNICC has over 800 staff at its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland and offices in New York City, Brindisi, Rome, Valencia, Spain, and Hanoi, Vietnam.
