The University of Central Missouri (UCM) is a public university in Missouri, United States, with campuses in Warrensburg, about 50 miles south-east of Kansas City, and Lee's Summit, plus online programmes. Founded as a training school for teachers, it took its current name in 2006 and is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).

UCM offers more than 150 majors and academic programmes, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 21 to 1, and over 40 graduate programmes at master's, education specialist and doctoral level. Its four colleges cover Art, Humanities and Social Sciences; Education; Health, Science and Technology; and Business and Professional Studies.
