Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela (English: University of the City of Valenzuela), also known as PLV, is a state-owned public university located in Valenzuela, Philippines. The university was established on June 5, 2002. PLV is a member of the Association of Local Colleges and Universities.

Started as an initiative by high school principals in Valenzuela, the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela initially located at a government building within the vicinity of the old municipal complex of Valenzuela. In 2008, the city government bought a parcel of land near Children of Mary Immaculate College and expanded its offerings from the original eight courses to 19 courses.

Nalo, Executive Director of Valenzuela Polytechnic College and Mr. Erlindo C. Dionisio and Atty. Antonio M. Dalag, the Vice-president and President of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela.
