Freed-Hardeman University is a primarily undergraduate university in Henderson, Tennessee in the United States of America. The university is affiliated with the autonomous congregations that are called commonly as if they were a monolithic entity Church of Christ, whose roots are in the Restoration or "Campbellite" movement. Freed-Hardeman is primarily undergraduate and residential, enrolling full-time students of traditional college age, but also serves some commuting, part-time, and older adult students on-campus and through distance-learning programs. The university offers a limited number of master's-level graduate programs. Arts, science, and professional degrees are conferred.

The university is governed by a self-perpetuating board of trustees who are members of churches of Christ. Courses are offered by twelve academic departments organized into six schools -- Arts and Humanities, Biblical Studies, Business, Education, Sciences and Mathematics, and the Honors College. The Loden-Daniel Library, under the direction of Hope Shull, provides service to undergraduate & graduate students as well as faculty and staff.

It traces its origin to the 1869 charter of a private high school and college for Henderson, the Henderson Male and Female Institute. It was known at various times as the Henderson Masonic Male and Female Institute; West Tennessee Christian College; Georgie Robertson Christian College; National Teachers' Normal and Business College; and (as of 1919) Freed-Hardeman College. In February of 1990, it became Freed-Hardeman University.

Interesting fact: Was used as filming location for the 1973 movie Walking Tall
