Tenley Campus is a satellite campus of American University located on Tenley Circle, in Northwest Washington, DC. It is home to the Washington Semester Program, University Publications, Alumni Relations, and Media Relations Departments, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

Purchased in 1987 by AU, Tenley Campus was acquired to alleviate space problems at the university's main campus. Formerly the Immaculata School, it is about half a mile from main campus on Tenley Circle, at the intersection of Wisconsin and Nebraska Avenues. This campus is popular with interns because of its close proximity to the Tenleytown-AU Metro station on the WMATA Red Line.
