Nalanda University is a public central university located in Nalanda district's Rajgir in the state of Bihar, India. It is designated as an Institute of National Importance (INI) and excellence. The international university supported by 18 member countries was established by an Act of the Indian Parliament in 2010.

Nalanda University was established to emulate the ancient university of Nalanda, which functioned between the 5th and 13th centuries.

In 2009, during the 4th East Asia summit, ASEAN member states including Australia, China, Korea, Singapore and Japan promised further support. The State Government of Bihar handed over land acquired from local people, to the university for its new campus.
