Kobe City University of Foreign Studies (神戸市外国語大学, Kōbe-shi gaikokugo daigaku), KCUFS (神戸外大, Kōbe gaidai) for short, is a municipal university in Japan.

It was founded in 1946 as Kobe Municipal College of Foreign Affairs (神戸市立外事専門学校, Kōbe shiritsu gaiji semmon gakkō), a coeducational college with a three-year curriculum.

In April 1949 the college was developed into Kobe City University of Foreign Studies, a four-year university under Japan's new educational system.

A new campus was opened on a hill called Kusu-ga-oka (楠ヶ丘) in Nada-ku.
