The Zhongnan University of Economics and Law (ZUEL; 中南财经政法大学; lit. 'Central–southern University of Finance, Economics, Political Science and Law') is a public university located in Wuhan, Hubei, China. It is affiliated with the Ministry of Education and co-funded by Ministry of Education, Ministry of Finance, and Hubei Provincial People's Government. The university is part of the Double First-Class Construction and Project 211.
ZUEL was established in 2000 with the merge of the then Central South University of Finance and Economics (中南财经大学) and then Central South Political Science and Law College (中南政法学院). Its root could be traced to 1948 when then Zhongyuan University (中原大学) was founded in the Province of Henan and later moved to Wuhan.
