The Adolfo Ibáñez University (Spanish: Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez) (UAI) is a private research university in Santiago, Chile, associated with the Adolfo Ibáñez Foundation. In 1988, in accordance with new educational legislation, a new university was founded based on the Valparaiso Business School (Escuela de Negocios de Valparaiso), an older institution for professional teaching in business administration founded in 1953 by Adolfo Ibáñez Boggiano. The newer university would take its name some decades later.
In the Chilean higher educational scheme, UAI is a private university accredited in the country by the Comisión Nacional de Acreditación (CNA) and internationally by the Triple Accreditation.
