Cebu Doctors' University (CDU) is a private university located in Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines.

It was founded in 1975 at Cebu City as Cebu Doctors' College (CDC) adjacent to the present Cebu Doctors' University Hospital with the opening of its College of Nursing, one of the first nursing colleges in Cebu.
