The Islamic University of Madinah (Arabic: الجامعة الإسلامية بالمدينة المنورة) is a public Islamic university in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Established by King Saud bin Abdulaziz in 1961,^[1] the institute is said to have been associated with Salafism, while claiming to have exported Salafi-inclined theologians around the world.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] Others disagree and state that the institution is objective and scientific, being detached to any singular ideology.^[7] It received institutional academic accreditation without exceptions from the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment in April 2017.^[8]

This university is designated only for Muslim male students.^[9]
