The University of the French West Indies and Guiana (Université des Antilles et de la Guyane, or UAG) was a French university, based in the French West Indies. It was under the Academy of French Guiana.
The University had 5 campuses:
- two in Guadeloupe: Fouillole (Pointe-à-Pitre) and Saint-Claude,
