Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU or IPU) is a university in Delhi, India. The university was established by the government of Delhi in 1998 and is affiliated to University Grants Commission.

Although initially setup to ease the pressure on centrally funded University of Delhi, GGSIPU has emerged as a serious alternative to it. It is aimed at facilitating and promoting studies & research with focus on professional education in emerging areas of higher education in disciplines of engineering, technology, business management, medicine, pharmacy, nursing, education, and law. The admission to these programmes are through a Common Entrance Test.

There are more than 70 colleges affiliated to the university which run programmes adhering to the norms and standards set by it. The university is presently situated at Kashmere Gate in Delhi and is housed in the former campus of Delhi College of Engineering. It plans to shift to the new campus land allotted by government of Delhi in Dwarka in west Delhi and Shahdara in east Delhi with modern facilities. Professor K.K. Aggarwal is the first and current Vice Chancellor of the university.

Located near to Old Delhi, the university campus is in the vicinity of hubs like Chandni Chowk and Daryaganj. The campus is surrounded by hertitage buildings like The Red Fort and Jama Masjid.

With the introduction of the Delhi Metro to the area, commuting has become an easy task to and from the campus. It is more famous for its University School Of Information Technology which is one of the few departments of repute outside the IITs. Fact|date=September 2007.
