Anton de Kom University (Dutch: Anton de Kom Universiteit van Suriname) is the only university in Suriname.

It is located in the capital, Paramaribo, and named for Anton de Kom, an anti-colonialist activist who was killed by the Nazis while in exile in the Netherlands.

Furthermore, there were other para-university courses, namely the discipline to become a surveyor, dentist and pharmacist.

The proclamation was made on 1 November 1968, in the then still existing Theatre Star.

Linguist Hein Eersel was appointed as the first chancellor of the University of Suriname.
