The Recinte Mundet, also known as the Llars Mundet, Hogares Mundet or Campus Mundet, is an area of the Spanish and Catalan city of Barcelona, within the district of Horta-Guinardó and neighbourhood of Montbau.

It originally housed a charitable institution, founded in 1957 by the Catalan-Mexican philanthropist Artur Mundet, which cared for orphans, the elderly, sick and needy. Today it houses a campus of the University of Barcelona, together with various educational and social services of the Barcelona Provincial Council.

Mundet station, on line L3 of the Barcelona Metro, is 5 minutes walk from the campus.^[1]
