Cenderawasih University (Indonesian: Universitas Cenderawasih, UNCEN) is a university in Jayapura, in the province Papua, Indonesia. The university is the leading educational institution in the province.

The university has faculties in economics, law, teacher training and education, and social and political science. Until 2002 the university had a faculty of agricultural sciences at Manokwari, which was then separated to form the State University of Papua (Universitas Negeri Papua, UNIPA).

Students of the university have participated in organising and support for the Free Papua Movement, and other nationalist campaigns, including demonstrations against Freeport Indonesia's Grasberg mine and have consequently been targeted by the Indonesian military.

Among the most well known students of the university was John Rumbiak, who founded the human rights organisation ELS-HAM in Jayapura.
