The University of West Attica (UniWA; Greek: Πανεπιστήμιο Δυτικής Αττικής, ΠΑΔΑ) is a public university in Athens, Greece. It was established in 2018 as a result of the merger of the Technological Educational Institute of Athens and the Technological Educational Institute of Piraeus. The National School of Public Health also joined the newly established institution in 2019 and UniWA now comprises 6 Schools and 27 Departments covering a wide range of modern Science, including Social, Administrative and Economic Sciences, Health and Food Sciences, Engineering, and Art Studies.

Today, it is the third largest university in Greece (after the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens), and is considered the fastest growing university in the country and one of the fastest growing universities in Southeastern Europe.
