Universidade Estadual de Londrina (abbreviated UEL; State University of Londrina) is one of the public universities of the State of Paraná, Brazil.

UEL was created in 1970, being recognized officially by Federal Ordinance 69.234/71. In 1987 'free teaching' was implemented at the Institution, and in 1991 it gained autonomy from the State. Since the 2005 admission exam, UEL adopted an official system of quotas for black students, as well as quotas for applicants originating from public schools, in order to attend to social and minority support policies. Located in the city of Londrina - second largest city in the state, and the fourth in the south of the country - Londrina is in an important position for most students coming from northern Paraná, and from other states, like São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul and Santa Catarina.

UEL is considered among Brazil's top academic and research institutes.

Also, UEL is very well known nationwide by its Law School (one of the most traditional Law Schools in Brazil), whose students have the fame of making it be among the top three schools of the OAB Exam (equivalent to the US Bar Exam) of São Paulo and Paraná states. Besides, it's said tha the UEL Medical School is on top 5 of Brazil's Medical Schools.
