King Faisal University (KFU) (Arabic: جامعة الملك فيصل Ğāmiʿat al-Malak Fayṣal) is a public university in Hofuf, Saudi Arabia. Founded in 1975, it is named after King Faisal bin Abdulalziz, the ruler of Saudi Arabia from 1964 until 1975. KFU was initially established with four colleges: two in Dammam and the other two in Al-Ahsa.[2] Later, the colleges in Dammam have been segregated to become the Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University.
