Universitas Ghana (Ing: University of Ghana) adalah perguruan tinggi tertua dan terbesar di antara tiga puluh universitas yang berkedudukan di Ghana.
Perguruan ini didirikan pada tahun 1948 dengan nama University College of the Gold Coast, dan awalnya berafiliasi dengan Universitas London, yang memberikan program supervisi akademik dan pemberian gelar akademik. Berstatus sebagai universitas pada tahun 1961, dan sekarang, jumlah peserta didiknya hampir mencapai 40,000 mahasiswa.
Perguruan tinggi ini, awalnya menekankan pengajaran seni liberal, ilmu pengetahuan sosial, ilmu pengetahuan dasar, agrikultural, dan keseehatan, tetapi kemudian kurikulum dikembangkan untuk menyediakan lebih kepada kurikulum berbasis teknologi, kursus vokasi dan pelatihan post-graduasi.
Kantor pusat universitas terletak di Legon, sekitar 12 kilometre sebelah timur laut pusat Accra. Sekolah kesehatan berada di Korle Bu, dengan pengajaran kerumahsakitanl dan kampus sekunder berada di Kota Accra. Kampus ini juga memiliki lulusan sekolah nuclear dan menggabungkan ilmu pengetahuan di Komisi Energi Atom Ghana, yang mengantarkan sebagai salah satu universitas di Afrika Selatan yang menawarkan program fisika nuklir dan teknik nuklir.
Pendirian Komisi Afrika Selatan oleh Komisi Asquith di Pendidikan Lebih Tinggi dalam Koloni di bawah kepemimpinan Rt. Hon. Walter Elliot telah melahirkan institusi yang diakui pada tahun 1948. Komisi itu merekomendasikan pengaturan aosiasi mahasiswa dengan Universitas London, sehingga University College of the Gold Coast didirikan oleh Ordinance pada tanggal 11 Agustus 1948 untuk keperluan penyediaan dan promosi pendidikan universitas, dan penelitian. Ini memungkinkan karena penolakan rekomendasi pertama yang berstatus bahwa hanya satu mahasiswa universitas yang dapat dilaksanakan untuk seluruh Britania Afrika Barat, yang akan berlokasi di Nigeria oleh orang-orang Gold Coast yang dipimpin para ilmuwan dan politikus, almarhum Dr. J. B. Danquah.
