Domus Academy is a private school of design in Milan, Italy. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses in fashion, industrial design, design management, business and user experience design, product and interior design, design innovation, fashion and luxury brand management.

Domus Academy was founded in 1982 by the Mazzocchi family, owners of Editoriale Domus [it], which publishes Domus and Quattroruote magazines. Maria Grazia Mazzocchi was president of the school. Gianfranco Ferré was on the staff from 1983 to 1989, and Andrea Branzi was cultural director for the first ten years. In 2009 the school was bought by Laureate Education of Baltimore, Maryland for an estimated ten million euros. In 2018 Laureate sold it to the French group Galileo Global Education.

Domus Academy's academic offering includes bachelor of arts courses (180 ECTS credits), 1-year master's courses (60 or 90 ECTS credits) and 2-year master of arts courses (120 ECTS credits). By successfully completing one of the 1-year Master's courses, students can obtain the title of Academic Master (60 ECTS credits), recognised in Europe and worldwide and accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR), or the title of Dual Award Master (90 ECTS credits). The Academic Master's degree is issued by NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, which is on the list of institutions authorised by the MIUR to issue Higher Education in Art, Music and Dance. The Dual Award Master allows students to obtain an Academic Master recognised by the MIUR and, in addition, a Master of Arts officially recognised by the British system (Privy Council) and issued by Regent's University London.
