The Catholic University of Portugal (Portuguese: Universidade Católica Portuguesa), also referred to as Católica for short, is a non-state public university based in Lisbon with four campuses: Lisbon, Braga, Porto and Viseu.

Established in 1967 by decree of the Holy See, it is a higher education institution with a humanistic focus. It is a multi-site institution with a clear international vocation, aiming to promote high-quality education and holistic development, leading-edge knowledge and research, and innovation in the service of the common good.[1]

Until 2001, the Universidade Católica Portuguesa had a campus in Leiria[3], in 2007 in Figueira da Foz, with the Faculty of Science and Technology[4], and also in Caldas da Rainha, where it maintained a campus until 2011 focused on the Western Region, with the Faculty of Biotechnology.[5]
