The Feliks Nowowiejski Academy of Music (Polish: Akademia Muzyczna im. Feliksa Nowowiejskiego w Bydgoszczy; AMFN) is a Polish state music university located in downtown Bydgoszcz. Its origins date back to 1974, as branch of the Music College in Łódź (Polish: Filia Wyższej Szkoły Muzycznej w Łodzi) until 1979. At that point it was established as independent Bydgoszcz State College of Music (Polish: Państwowa Wyższa Szkoła Muzyczna), consisting of four departments. The current name was adopted in 1981.
