A national university is mainly a university created or managed by a government, but which may also at the same time operate autonomously without direct control by the state.

Globally, some national universities are associated with national cultural or political aspirations. For example, the National University of Ireland during the early days of Irish independence collected a large amount of information about the Irish language and Irish culture.
