This is a list of universities and other higher educational institutions in Timor-Leste. Timor-Leste has one public national university, National University of Timor-Leste, founded in 2000 to replace the Indonesian-era Universitas Timor Timur, which ceased operations in 1999. The country also has a number of private universities, including the Dili Institute of Technology, the Institute of Business, Instituto Superior Cristal, Joao Saldanha University, Universidade Dili, Universidade Oriental Timor Lorosa'e, and Universidade da Paz. A Catholic university, Universidade Católica Timorense, was established in 2021. All of Timor-Leste's universities are located in Dili, the capital, but several also have satellite campuses in other locations.

In addition to universities, Timor-Leste also has a number of specialized higher education institutions. There are several technical schools, including the East Timor Coffee Institute [de], Instituto Dom Boaventura de Timor-Leste, Instituto Ciência da Saúde, Instituto Profissional de Canossa, and the government-run Instituto Politécnico de Betano. Timor-Leste has two teacher training institutes, Instituto Católico para Formação de Professores and Instituto São João de Brito. A new teachers' college, Naroman Esperansa, is currently being built in Gleno.[1] There are also several theological institutions, including Instituto de Ciências Religiosas, Instituto Filosófico de São Francisco de Sales, Instituto Superior de Filosofia e de Teologia, and St. Peter and St. Paul Major Seminary. The government also operates the Instituto da Defesa Nacional to provide higher education to members of the military.

Most of Timor-Leste's institutions of higher education are accredited by the National Agency for Academic Assessment and Accreditation (ANAAA), run by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Culture.
