The University of Tabriz (Persian: دانشگاه تبريز‎ ; sometimes referred to as Tabriz University) is a public university in Tabriz, Iran. It is the second oldest university in Iran after the University of Tehran and the biggest academic institution in northwestern Iran.

The university was first established by the autonomous Democratic Republic of South Azerbaijan under Jafar Pishevari on June 12, 1946, as the University of Azerbaijan (Azerbaijani: Azerbaycan Universiteti) with faculties in Medicine, Agriculture and Pedagogy. The University soon closed in November with the collapse of the autonomous government. It was re-opened on October 30, 1947, which is now officially set as inauguration date of the university. The university was called University of Azarabadegan prior to the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and renamed the University of Tabriz afterwards. In 1985, the Iranian Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education took over the departments and faculties in the medical sciences and the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) became an independent institution.
