The Global University Leaders Forum (GULF) is a group of presidents from the world's top 29 universities, established in 2006 by the World Economic Forum (WEF). It describes itself as a "community" to address educational, scientific and research agendas. Membership is based on university ranking, individual leadership, geographical diversity, and the university's relevance to the forum's agenda. The current GULF Chair is Suzanne Fortier of McGill University.

A 2018 report by Times Higher Education and Elsevier found that the then-27 GULF members produced 7% of the world's research output, more than any individual country except the United States and China, and are responsible for 15.4% of all research cited in patents, more than any individual country except the United States.
