The Sauder School of Business is a business school at the University of British Columbia located in the University Endowment Lands, just west of the city limits of Vancouver, Canada, which provides diploma, bachelor, masters and Ph.D. programs. There are currently 24 000 alumni in 60 countries.

Originally named the UBC Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, it was renamed on June 5, 2003 to the Sauder School of Business, coinciding with the donation of a $20 million endowment by Dr. William Sauder. The $20 million endowment was, at the time, the largest single private donation ever made to name a Canadian business school.
