The State University of Ponta Grossa (Portuguese: Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, UEPG) is a public higher education institution in the state of Paraná, Brazil.

The Uvaranas campus has, among other facilities, a running track, a soccer field, multisport courts, a heated pool, an astronomical observatory and a library, the Central Library Professor Faris Michaele, with over 90.000 copies.

The vestibular can be taken by anyone that wishes to study at the university, but the PSS can only be taken by high school students.

According to studies,[2] every real invested in the higher education institutions is multiplied by four when returned to local economies.

Thus, UEPG has an annual impact of 500 million reais[3] (about U$120 mi) on the regional economy.
