Limestone University, formerly Limestone College, is a private Christian university in Gaffney, South Carolina. It was established in 1845 by Thomas Curtis, a distinguished scholar born and educated in England. Limestone was the first women's college in South Carolina and one of the first in the nation; it is the third-oldest college in South Carolina. Ten buildings on the campus, as well as the Limestone Springs and limestone quarry itself, are on the National Register of Historic Places.

In the 1960s, Limestone became fully coeducational. In 2020, its name changed from Limestone College to its current name of Limestone University.

In addition to its traditional campus in Gaffney, the university provides online degrees and previously had physical locations in Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, and Florence.
