Greifswald University Library (German: Universitätsbibliothek Greifswald) is the official library of the University of Greifswald, situated in Greifswald, Germany. Its earliest days go back to the founding of the university in the year 1456, and it became Germany's first centralised university library in the year 1604.
Today, it has three branches, namely the Alte Bibliothek (Old Library) in the city centre, and two other library buildings across town. The central university library is completed by various specialised libraries of the university's departments.
