Mozarteum University Salzburg (German: Universität Mozarteum Salzburg), commonly known as the Mozarteum, is a university in Salzburg, Austria specialising in music, drama and directing, music and dance pedagogy, and art education. The term Mozarteum also refers to its predecessor institutions, which existed from 1841 onwards.

It is one of three affiliated but separate entities under the "Mozarteum" name in Salzburg; the others are the International Mozarteum Foundation and its concert hall, and the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg. The International Mozarteum Foundation is not part of the University but an independent association that, among other things, organises concerts, archives Mozart autographs, and maintains Mozart museums in Salzburg.

Like its affiliates the University was established in honour of Salzburg-born musician Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
