Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding
- Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding
The Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding was founded in 1993 at Georgetown University in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., United States. Following a $20 million dollar gift in 2005 from Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal to the school's Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, the center was renamed the Prince Alwaleed Bin-Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.

Republican congressman Frank Wolf questioned the prince's gift on February 14, 2008, and whether the center, given the money involved, had ever been critical of the Saudi government.
