Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (IKBFU; Russian: Балтийский федеральный университет имени Иммануила Канта) is a public research university located in the exclave of Kaliningrad, Russia.

It is the oldest university in the Kaliningrad region, formed on the land of the former East Prussia and in Europe. It was originally known as the University of Koenigsberg (Albertina), which was founded in 1544.

As a result of World War II, Russia annexed the city of Königsberg from Prussia and renamed it Kaliningrad, therefore the establishment was named Kaliningrad State University (1946–2005), then in 2005 the university was renamed Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in honor of Immanuel Kant, a German philosopher. The university claims to maintain the traditions of its German predecessor, the University of Königsberg.^[1]
