The University of Urbino "Carlo Bo" (Italian "Università degli Studi di Urbino "Carlo Bo", UNIURB) is an Italian university located in Urbino, a Renaissance hill-town in the region of Le Marche, in the north-eastern part of central Italy. The university was founded in 1506, and currently has about 20,000 students, many of whom are from overseas. The university has no central campus as such, and instead occupies numerous buildings throughout the town and in the surrounding countryside. The main accommodation blocks are situated a short distance from the town.

The University of Urbino has traditionally given precedence to studies in the humanities, and is especially renowned for its courses in Italian language. In recent years it has suffered economic difficulties, and is currently in the process of becoming state-owned.
