The University of Antananarivo (French: Université d'Antananarivo) is Madagascar's main public university, located in the capital Antananarivo.
The University of Antananarivo was founded on December 16, 1955, with the establishment of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Antananarivo. It became the country's primary seat of higher education and was renamed the University of Madagascar in 1961. It eventually developed five more branches in Antsiranana, Fianarantsoa, Toamasina, Toliara, and Mahajanga.
