Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani University-Kunar (Pashto: سيد جمال الدين افغاني پوهنتون) is a public university in Asadabad, capital of eastern Kunar province of Afghanistan. It was established in 2010. The university is named after Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani, the Islamic ideologist of the 19th century.

Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani University-Kunar has two compounds. The main compound of the university is in Salar Bagh or Baghe-e Salar, which includes the university's faculties and centers: the administration office, the faculty of economy, the faculty of agriculture, the computer information and communication technology (ICT) center, and a separate area for the female scholars' hostel.

The second compound is located in Bela village, or east of the administration compound, and has a wider area as compared to the administration compound. This area is just a few kilometers away from the central administration office. Buildings and centers in this compound are the faculty of computer science, the faculty of education, the Shawkat Zamani computer lab, the university's main library, the university mosque, a dining building for scholars, and three buildings for male scholars (Block A, Block B, and a new hostel for male students).
