Hartpury University RFC is an English rugby union club. The men's first team play in the second tier of the English rugby union league system, the RFU Championship, having won promotion from National League 1 at the end of the 2016–17 season.
The club is based at Hartpury University in Gloucestershire, England, and is made up primarily of the university's students and staff. Hartpury University shares a close relationship with Premiership Rugby side Gloucester, which uses Hartpury's facilities as their permanent training base and provides a small number of academy players, all of whom are current or recently departed students, to supplement the Hartpury University team. Several Hartpury University players have gone on to play for Gloucester and other professional teams. They also jointly run Gloucester–Hartpury, who play in Premiership Women's Rugby, with Gloucester Rugby.
