This is a list of universities and other higher educational institutions in East Timor. East Timor has one public national university, National University of East Timor, 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 East Timor's universities are located in Dili, the capital, but several also have satellite campuses in other locations.
In addition to universities, East Timor also has a number of specialized higher education institutions. There are several technical schools, including the East Timor Coffee Institute, Instituto Dom Boaventura de Timor-Leste, Instituto Ciência da Saúde, Instituto Profissional de Canossa, and the government-run Instituto Politécnico de Betano. East Timor 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. 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 East Timor'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.
