Tunghai University (THU; traditional Chinese: 東海大學; simplified Chinese: 东海大学; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tang-hái Tāi-ha̍k; lit. East Sea University) is a private university in Taiwan,[9] established in 1955. It was founded by the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia (UBCHEA).[10] It is located in Xitun District, Taichung, Taiwan. The university is known for its liberal arts education.[11]

On the campus, the Luce Memorial Chapel (designed by architects Chen Chi-kwan and I. M. Pei) is a local landmark.

The university shares its name with Tokai University in Japan. The two universities have since entered a partnership agreement.
