Universitas Otago (bahasa Inggris: University of Otago, bahasa Maori: Te Whare Wānanga o Otāgo) adalah sebuah universitas negeri yang berlokasi di Dunedin, Selandia Baru dan merupakan universitas tertua yang ada di Selandia Baru. Universitas ini memiliki rata-rata tertinggi dalam kualitas penelitian di Selandia Baru, dan pada tahun 2006 berada di tempat kedua setelah Universitas Auckland dalam hal jumlah peneliti akademis berperingkat yang dipekerjakan.[2] Universitas ini menempati peringkat tertinggi dalam evalauasi Performance Based Research Fund Selandia Baru tahun 2006.[3]
Didirikan pada tahun 1869 oleh sebuah komite yang melibatkan Thomas Burns,[4] universitas ini dibuka pada Juli 1871. Moto yang diambil adalah "Sapere aude" ("Berani untuk menjadi bijak"), di mana Universitas Selandia Baru kemudian juga mengadopsi moto yang sama. Asosiasi Mahasiswa Otago menjawab hal ini dengan motonya, "Audeamus" ("Mari kita berani"). Lagu kelulusan universitas Gaudeamus igitur, iuvenes dum sumus... ("Mari kita bersenang-senang, selagi masih muda") menyatakan bahwa mahasiswa akan terus hidup melewati tantangan walau bukan cara yang diharapkan. Antara tahun 1874 dan 1961, Universitas Otago adalah bagian dari Universitas Selandia Baru, dan mengeluarkan gelar dalam namanya.
Otago is known for its student life, particularly its flatting, which is often in old sub-standard houses. The nickname "Scarfie" comes from the habit of wearing a scarf during cold southern winters.[5] The architectural grandeur and accompanying gardens of Otago University led to it being ranked as one of the world's most beautiful universities by the British publications The Daily Telegraph and The Huffington Post.[6][7]
Divisions
The university is divided into four academic divisions:
- Division of Humanities
- Division of Health Sciences
- Division of Sciences
- School of Business
For external and marketing purposes, the Division of Commerce is known as the School of Business, as that is the term commonly used for its equivalent in North America. Historically, there were a number of Schools and Faculties, which have now been grouped with stand alone departments to form these divisions.
In addition to the usual university disciplines, the Otago Medical School (founded 1875) is one of only two in New Zealand (with constituent branches in Christchurch and Wellington), and Otago is the only university in the country to offer training in Dentistry. Other professional schools and faculties not found in all New Zealand universities include Pharmacy, Physical Education, Physiotherapy, Medical Laboratory Science, and Surveying. It was also home to the School of Mines, until this was transferred to the University of Auckland in 1987. Theology is also offered, traditionally in conjunction with the School of Ministry, Knox College, and Holy Cross College, Mosgiel.
There are also a number of service divisions including:
- Financial Services Division
- Human Resources Division
- Information Technology Services Division
- Marketing & Communications Division
- Property Services Division
- Research & Enterprise Division
- Student Services Division

Initially this ranking was only the top 200 listed universities and the University of Otago did not appear. In 2015, the University of Otago became the first New Zealand university to have a course in a QS Top 10 list, being ranked 8th in Dentistry.[11]
