Lindsey Wilson University (LWU) is a university in Columbia, Kentucky, in the United States. Students can earn associate (A.A.), bachelor's (B.A., B.S. or B.S.N.), master's (M.B.A., M.Ed. or M.S.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees, and some programmes are also offered online and at extended campuses. Undergraduate majors cover areas such as business administration, biology, nursing, education, criminal justice, psychology, communication and sport management; graduate study focuses on counselling, business and technology.

More than 100 international students from over 40 countries study at LWU, and the university has exchange programmes with partner schools in Japan, Northern Ireland and South Korea. Its International Student Programs office supports students from the pre-admission stage, and each new international student is assigned a host family from the university staff or the local community. LWU has no separate English language institute: students need at least an intermediate level of English (TOEFL iBT 45) and take credit-bearing ESL courses alongside regular classes if their score is below about iBT 71.

Students live in residence halls, apartments and houses on campus, each with a resident assistant. The university states that more than 99% of undergraduates receive some form of financial assistance.
