The Philippine Christian University (PCU) is a private, Protestant coeducational basic and higher education institution located in Ermita, Manila, Philippines.

Originally named as Manila Union University, it was renamed as Philippine Christian College (PCC). In 1976, the PCC acquired university status.^[1]

PCU is one of the two major mainline protestant universities at the heart of Metro Manila.^[1] The other is Trinity University of Asia (founded under the auspices of the Protestant Episcopal Church).
