'''[[Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia]]''' ('''UTHM'''; English: ''Tun Hussein Onn University of Malaysia'') is a [[public university]] in [[Batu Pahat]], [[Johor]], [[Malaysia]]. It was formerly known as Institut Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (ITTHO) and Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO). Along with other public university colleges, KUiTTHO was promoted to full university status since year 2007. The name UTHM was officially launched by the then education minister, [[Hishammuddin Hussein|Dato' Seri Hishammuddin Bin Tun Hussein]].

The establishment history of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia started off on 16 September 1993. The university was formerly known as Pusat Latihan Staf Politeknik (PLSP). The core business of PLSP then was to train and produce polytechnics academic staff in various engineering fields. The training institute was jointly administered by [[Universiti Teknologi Malaysia]] and the Ministry of Education Malaysia.

On 27 September 2000, the institute achieved another milestone when the Malaysian government agreed to award a university-college status to the institute. This was to recognise its contributions in science and technology-based development as well as in helping the nation to achieve its aspiration. With the new status, the institution was known as Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO) and the official announcement was made by Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Musa bin Mohamed, the then Minister of Education.
