Officialy Indian Defence University (IDU) (भारतीय रक्षा विश्वविद्यालय) is a defence service university set up for the affiliation of training academies of union government defence servants working under the Government of India. These union government defence servants can collectively be termed as generalist branch and specialist branch of the Indian Military. It is not to be confused with the Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) which is focused on the police and para-military Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), whereas IDU is focused on the military. It is located at Binola village in Gurugram district of Haryana state in India that is being built. It is proposed to be one of the Institutes of National Importance (INIs).

It was first proposed in 1967, but is unlikely to become operational in the foreseeable future, despite periodic optimism. As of January 2020, only the perimeter road and boundary walls have been constructed, the construction of the main building and teaching infrastructure could not commence until the "Indian National Defence University (INDU) Act, 2015" is passed, which is still awaiting approval from the Union Cabinet and the Parliament of India in the form of a draft bill.

It is located on the eastern flank of Delhi–Jaipur Expressway (NH 48), just 5 km (3.1 mi) southwest of Pachgaon Chowk on Western Peripheral Expressway, nearly 11 km (6.8 mi) southwest of National Security Guard base, 10 km (6.2 mi) northwest of Heritage Transport Museum, 26 km (16 mi) southwest of Gurugram CBD, and 43 km (27 mi) southwest of IGI International Airport. NHAI has established a bus bay for the university at NH48.
