King Khalid University (KKU; {{lang-ar|جامعة الملك خالد}}) is a public university, distributed over several towns in the 'Asir Province in south-west Saudi Arabia, including Abha[1] and al-Namas.[2] On 26 July 1998, King Saud University and Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University merged to become King Khalid University.

King Khalid University is a rapidly growing institution of higher education in Saudi Arabia. With around 70,000 students, it is one of the biggest centers of learning in the Middle East region with a reputation as a major provider of both further and higher education. The eLearning Center (eLC) at KKU was established in 2005 as part of the university’s continuous efforts to provide the latest scientific methodologies to improve the educational process.

Abdullah al-Rashid [1]was the president of King Khalid University {{citation needed|date=March 2012}} until 1 July 2012, when he was replaced by Abdulrahman al-Dawood[6] following massive student protests in May and calls for his resignation.[8]

One of the deans is Shanaifa Al-Qarni, Dean of the Women's College.
