The University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV or UP Visayas) is a public research university in Iloilo, Philippines. A constituent university of the University of the Philippines system, it teaches management, accountancy, marketing, economics, chemistry, applied mathematics and physics, marine science education and research, fisheries, and aquaculture. It offers regional studies programs on the preservation and enrichment of the Visayan cultural heritage.

UP Visayas has two campuses—Miagao and Iloilo City — with Miagao being the main campus where the central administration offices are located.

Most of the students of the university are drawn from the Visayas and the Visayan linguistic groups. Many of the leaders of the Visayas graduated from UPV or its predecessor institutions. As of 2007, the Commission on Higher Education of the Philippines awarded four National Centers of Excellence and Development to UPV including Fisheries (UPV-Miagao), Marine Science (UPV-Miagao), and Biology (UPV-Miagao).

The University of the Philippines College of Law (U.P. Diliman) has opened a law academic extension program in U.P. Visayas - Iloilo City Campus.
