Guangxi University for Nationalities (simplified Chinese: 广西民族大学; traditional Chinese: 廣西民族大學, Zhuang: Gvangjsih Minzcuz Dayoz, abbreviated GXUN or Guangxi Minda) is a provincial research university in Nanning, Guangxi. Established in 1952 to serve the ethnic minority populations in Guangxi, the university has historical strengths in ethnology and foreign languages.

Originally a branch campus of the Central Institute for Nationalities, the university has evolved into an independent university which grants bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees across 26 colleges, academic departments, and professional schools. Half of its 16,000 students are classified as an ethnic minority, with representation from 53 out of 55 recognized ethnic minority groups including the Zhuang, Miao, Yao, and Yi peoples.^[1] The university also attracts a growing population of over 1,000 international students, bolstered by its College of International Education and numerous global academic partnerships with educational institutions across Southeast and South Asia.
