The Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) Visayas is a state higher education institution in Talisay City, Negros Occidental.

In 1978, the Philippine College of Arts and Trades (PCAT) in Manila was converted into the Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) and was designated as the apex of technology education. Accordingly, the VTI was placed under the management of the TUP. In 1985, the VTI was renamed the Technological University of the Philippines Visayas.
Currently, the TUP Visayas is one of the top providers of engineering graduates in the country, producing topnotchers in the Professional Licensure Examination given by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
TUP Visayas is located in Talisay City with extension campuses in Sagay City and Cadiz.
