National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, NaUKMA (Ukrainian: Національний університет «Києво-Могилянська академія», Natsional'nyi universytet "Kyyevo-Mohylians'ka akademiya", НаУКМА), located in Kyiv, Ukraine is one of the country's leading national schools of higher education.

NaUKMA in its current form was established in 1992 shortly after Ukraine gained its independence upon the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union.

However, the historic predecessor of the NaUKMA, the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, was one of the oldest and the most distinguished academic and theological schools in Eastern Europe. It was established in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1632 by Petro Mohyla, a Metropolitan of Kyiv and Galicia. It played an important role in transmitting Renaissance ideals from Western Europe through Poland to Ukraine and Russia.

The present-day university occupies the historical compound of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy in Podil neighborhood, which contains some 17th century buildings.
