The Maritime University of Saruvia (Amalfitan: Collegia Maritima in Saruvia) is a university in Saruvia, Amalfi. It was founded in 853 and is the fourth of Amalfi's five ancient universities.

The Maritime University was created under the terms of the Accords of Lisaris as a symbolic representation of the unity of the new Amalfitan state. Its history is substantially older, however, as it was effectively a continuation and amalgamation of the maritime schools that had existed on the Aquiline Hill for centuries. It remained the great centre for studies of navigation and shipbuilding its predecessors had been, with students attending from as far afield as Charnea and Trotsbelden-Skirvpont.

It remains Amalfi's leading marine institute of higher education and is one of the larger ancient universities. Its graduates primarily enter the marine and shipbuilding industries, with many going to Saruvian companies such as Aquilifer Naval Engineering and Saruvian Maritime.
