St. Mary's University (StMU) is a small Catholic liberal arts university in south Calgary, Alberta. Founded under a provincial act in 1986, it became independent in 1991, began granting its own degrees in 2004 and took its current name in 2014. It describes itself as open to all and grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition, with an average class of 25 students. It is a different institution from Saint Mary's University in Halifax.

International students can apply to its arts, science and business programmes, such as psychology, biology, English, history, liberal studies and a two-year Business Diploma in Entrepreneurship and Social Responsibility, as well as Bachelor of Education after-degrees. It does not offer engineering, computing or professional master's degrees, so it suits Indian students who want a small, teaching-focused campus in a big city.
