The Bangladesh University of Professionals (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ ইউনিভার্সিটি অব প্রফেশনালস্) (abbreviated as BUP) is a public university in Mirpur Cantonment of Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Established on 05 June 2008, it is controlled by the Bangladesh Armed Forces and is affiliated with University Grants Commission of Bangladesh (UGC).

BUP was founded as the 31st public university of Bangladesh under the Bangladesh University of Professionals Act, 2009. It provides undergraduate and graduate programs across 18 departments in 6 faculties; including arts, social science, security studies, strategic studies, science and technology, business studies and medical studies.

Under the administration of the armed forces, BUP is noted for its internal discipline and a zero-tolerance policy for student politics, ragging, campus violence and other unethical activities. It is also the sole session jam-free public university in Bangladesh.

Before the establishment of the Bangladesh University of Professionals, all the educational institutions of the Bangladesh Armed Forces (about 56 institutions) were spread and affiliated with different public universities all over Bangladesh.

The main purpose for the establishment of BUP, was to unify all the educational institutions of the Bangladesh Armed Forces, under one university administered by the Armed Forces. Following the purpose, on 5 June 2008, Bangladesh University of Professionals started its journey with the motto- "Excellence through knowledge" in Mirpur Cantonment, Dhaka. Later, the Bangladesh University of Professionals Act, 2009 (Act No. 30 of 2009) was declared.

Although, BUP is a military-administered institution, it is also a public university. So, anyone can study in the university following the admission test. Currently, almost all the institutions of the Bangladesh Armed Forces are affiliated with BUP.
