National Formosa University (NFU; Chinese: 國立虎尾科技大學; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kok-li̍p Hó͘-bé Kho-ki Tāi-ha̍k) is a technical university in Huwei District, Yunlin County, Taiwan.

The university is organized into four colleges: the College of Engineering, the College of Electronics and Information, the College of Management, and the College of Applied Arts and Sciences. It hosts 19 undergraduate, 18 postgraduate, and 2 doctorate-level study programs.

The Research and Services Headquarters was formed in August 2007 to manage four research centers and two multi-purpose laboratories. The aim of these bodies is to organize academic resources and provide a platform for industry-academia cooperation. The research centers focus on technical services. They are the Energy Science and Technology Center, the Micro-Electronic Mechanical System Design and Application Center, the Opto-electronic and Display Technology Center, and the Precision Mechanical Device Development Center. The two research laboratories are the Micro/Nano Science and Common Technology Laboratory and the Ultra High Precision Machining Laboratory.

National Formosa University was founded in 1980 as Provincial Yunlin Institute of Technology by the Taiwan Provincial Government. Tien-Chin Chang was appointed as its first president. Five departments were established: Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Mechanical Design, Power Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.

In 1981, the school changed its name to National Yunlin Institute of Technology (NYIT).

The departments of Electro-Optical Engineering and Automation Engineering were added to NYIT in 1988.

In 1989 Cheng-Kuan Yu was appointed as the second president by the Ministry of Education.

In 1991, the English name of NYIT was changed to National Yunlin Polytechnic Institute (NYPI). The Department of Industrial Engineering and Management was established. Two years later, the Department of Vehicle Engineering was established. In 1994, the Department of Aeronautical Engineering started.
