Delmon University for Science & Technology (often shortened to Delmon University) was a private university in Manama, Bahrain.^[1]

The university was originally conceived in 2003 by its founder, Dr Hassan Al-Qadhi. It was licensed to operate on 6 July 2004. The name derives from Delmon or Dilmun, a land mentioned by Ancient Iraqi civilizations as a source of raw material, which has been speculated to have been in Bahrain.^[2]

Degree programs included a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration.^[3]

In 2013, the university's licence was revoked by the Higher Education Council of the Bahraini government.^[4][5] A court case to reverse this decision was lost in 2017.^[6]
