China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU; Chinese: 外交学院; lit. 'Diplomacy College') is a public university of foreign service in Beijing, China. It is affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The institute is part of the Double First-Class Construction.

Since its foundation, there have been over 300 ambassadors and thousands of senior diplomats among the alumni of CFAU, gaining the university a reputation as "the cradle of Chinese diplomats".[1] At present, CFAU has two campuses. The first began operating in 1956; the second one came into service in 2012.[2]

The university maintains two campuses in Beijing: the newer Zhanlanguan Rd Campus (展览馆校区) in Xicheng and the original Shahe Campus (沙河校区) in Changping.[3]
