Kinjo Gakuin University (金城学院大学, Kinjō gakuin daigaku) is a private women's university in Moriyama-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
The predecessor of the school was founded in 1889. It was chartered as a university in 1949. The university is named after Nagoya Castle, which has historically been also called Kinjō (金城 "Golden Castle"), due to its two golden shachihoko at the top of the roof of the main keep.
Kinjo Gakuin University has 14 undergraduate departments and majors covering a wide range of fields — from human/social science to natural science — and a graduate school in the humanities and in human ecology offering master's and doctoral degrees.
