The Central University of Jammu is a Central University located in Jammu, J&K, India. It has been established through an Act of Parliament: “The Central Universities Act, 2009" by Govt. of India. The territorial jurisdiction of Central University of Jammu is to the Jammu Division of the state of Jammu and Kashmir.This decision was taken in Bill No 101-F of 2009, The Central Universities (Amendment Bill), 2009.

Earlier as a part of this special initiative of MHRD, Government of India, one Central university known as Central University of Jammu & Kashmir was established in J&K with the State of Jammu & Kashmir as its territorial jurisdiction. Pending the final decision with regard to its location, the University started functioning from a temporary office at Srinagar from early 2009. However keeping in view the demand for the Central University in different regions of the State and to maintain regional harmony and balanced growth, the Government of India, on the request of the State Government, sanctioned two central universities for the State of Jammu and Kashmir by promulgating the Central Universities (Amendment) Ordinance, 2009. A bill in this regard has also been approved by the Parliament. Under the Central Universities (Amendment) Act, 2009 the Central University of Jammu and Kashmir has been renamed as the Central University of Kashmir and its territorial jurisdiction has been limited to the Kashmir Division of the State of Jammu & Kashmir.

A separate Central University known as the Central University of Jammu has been sanctioned for Jammu Division by appropriate amendments to the "Central Universities Act, 2009
