Kogakkan University (皇學館大学, Kōgakkan daigaku) is a private university at Ise, Mie, Japan. The predecessor of the school was founded in 1882, and it was chartered as a university in 1940.

Kogakkan University is one of only two universities in Japan to offer a Shinto studies program, whose graduates earn the qualifications needed to become a kannushi (Shinto priest).[1][2] The other university to offer such a program is Kokugakuin University in Tokyo.
