Hosei University (法政大学, Hōsei daigaku) is a private university based in Tokyo, Japan. Its baseball team plays as one of the Tokyo Big Six league. Hosei is among the Tokyo universities sometimes collectively referred to as "MARCH" (Meiji, Aoyama Gakuin, Rikkyo, Chuo, and Hosei).

It developed from a school of law established in 1880 and merged with a school of French studies in 1889. It adopted the name Hosei University in 1903 and was recognized as a private university in 1920.

Notable figures involved in its foundation include Dr. Gustave Emile Boissonade, Dr. Masaaki Tomii, and Dr. Ume Kenjirō, "Father of the Japanese Civil Code".

Hosei has three main campuses, which it calls Ichigaya, Koganei, and Tama. The Ichigaya campus is halfway between Ichigaya and Iidabashi stations in central Tokyo; its 26-story Boissonade Tower, completed in 2000, can be seen from either station. The campus has a city flavour but is still somewhat isolated from central Tokyo; the nearby presence of Yasukuni Shrine also contributes.

Sciences are studied at the Koganei campus to the west of Tokyo, and other subjects are split between Tama, which is near Hachiōji, and Ichigaya.
