North South University (Bengali: নর্থ সাউথ বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়, also known as NSU) is a private research university in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was established in 1992 under the Private University Act, 1992, by the then Foundation for Promotion of Education and Research (FPER), a charitable, non-profit, non-commercial, and non-political organization. The FPER later was renamed as the NSU Foundation and is presently called The North South Foundation for Education and Research.

The university is ranked among the top universities in Bangladesh. Its business school is the first Bangladeshi university to receive American accreditation from the ACBSP in 2015.

The university's campus is located in the Bashundhara Residential Area in Dhaka. It is one of the largest private universities in Bangladesh in terms of student population.
