Alnarp is a village and university campus in Lomma Municipality, Scania, Sweden, lying between Lund and Malmö.

The estate of Alnarp dates back to 1325, and became the official residence of the governor-general of Scania in 1674 [1]. In 1862, the existing Alnarp Castle was built to house a new school of agronomy, now part of the Alnarp campus of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

Alnarp also housed the headquarters of the Nordic Gene Bank[2].
