Hangzhou University (HZU; 杭州大学) was a public university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.[1] The institute was merged into Zhejiang University in 1998.

The university was founded as Zhejiang Teachers College (浙江师范学院) in 1952 by merging the departments of humanities, sciences and education at Hangchow University and Zhejiang University. The name of the university in postal romanisation is the same as Hangchow University run by American missionaries, yet the Chinese names are different.

In September 1996, the university was selected into Project 211.[2] In September 1998, the university was merged into Zhejiang University,[3] with its campus taken over by Zhejiang University as its Xixi Campus.[4]
