Universitas 21 is an international network of research-intensive^{[opinion needs balancing]} universities, established as an "international reference point and resource for strategic thinking on issues of global significance." Together, there are 500,000 students and 40,000 academics and researchers associated with these universities, which have over 2 million alumni.

Founded in 1997, Universitas 21 currently has 21 member universities in 12 different countries and territories. In November 2007, Delhi University joined Universitas 21, making Delhi University the first and only member from South Asia.

The universities collaborate on many levels, undergraduate and postgraduate research, sharing best practice and several hundred students a year participate in the student exchange programmes, the U21 Student Mobility Progamme.

In 2001, Universitas 21, in a collaborative effort with Thomson Learning, formed an online university called Universitas 21 Global (U21Global), with its headquarters in Singapore. The program is administered and quality-assured by U21pedagogica Ltd., which is chartered in Guernsey and headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia (USA), near the University of Virginia. Thomson Learning became Cengage Learning, then sold its entire 50% in U21Global share to Mauritius based Manipal Universal Learning International for an undisclosed sum in 2007.
