Zhejiang University of Technology (Chinese: 浙江工业大学 pinyin: Zhèjiāng Gōngyè Dàxúe) is a university which is located in city Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It is considered as one of the top 100 universities in mainland China, one of the top technological universities in mainland China and the second best university in Zhejiang Province after Zhejiang University.

Engineerings especially chemical and biological engineerings are its long suits. During the 1980s it made a big effort to become a comprehensive technological university instead of a technological college. Mainly because of the strong local financial support from Zhejiang province (the richest province in Chinese Mainland), It's developing very quickly. It keeps close and broad relationships to the local (mainly within Zhejiang province and Yangtze Delta) industries.

It is a typical technical university of the new generation ones in main land China.
