The Philippine Christian University (PCU) is a private, Protestant, and coeducational basic and higher education institution located in Ermita, Manila, Philippines. It was founded in 1946 through the initiatives of the laymen of the Evangelical Association of the Philippines. Originally named as Manila Union University, it was renamed as Philippine Christian College (PCC). In 1976, the PCC acquired university status.{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20100905051915/http://www.educationpinoy.com/philippine-christian-university.html "Philippine Christian University"]}}. Education Pinoy. Retrieved December 23, 2011.

PCU is one of the two major mainline protestant universities at the heart of Metro Manila. The other is Trinity University of Asia (founded under the auspices of the Protestant Episcopal Church). It is also a member institution of Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities (ACSCU).

The university maintains a satellite campus in Iloilo City through a partnership with the St. Roberts International Academy.
