The University of Luhansk (officially Taras Shevchenko National University of Luhansk, often referred to as LNU), is the oldest university in Donbas region and has a reputation as one of Ukraine's most prestigious universities. Following the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine and the establishment of Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), two independent institutions claim to represent this university. One continues to operate in the same campus as before in Luhansk, while the other operates from Ukraine-controlled Starobilsk.

U of Luhansk grew out of an association of professors in the city of Luhansk that was formed by the Soviet authorities as Teachers' Training Institute in 1921.

The University of Luhansk is often referred to as the best regional educational establishment in Ukraine. In addition to cultural and practical participation in the work of the Ukrainian society, the university participates in international projects, such as an MBA joint program with Franklin Pierce University.
