The Inselspital, also named the University Hospital of Bern (German: Universitätsspital Bern), located in Bern, is one of the five university hospitals of Switzerland. It is associated with the University of Bern. The hospital is operated by a charitable foundation established in 1354 through the will of Anna Seiler, a wealthy Bernese.

Many of the historic buildings were demolished from 1958 to 1978 and replaced by modern infrastructure, including a high-rise patient building. As of 2016, the hospital employs a staff of 7,255 and provides care for 250,000 patients each year. It also provides practical training to 600 medical students and over 1,000 other healthcare professionals.The prominent physicians who have practiced in the Inselspital include Emil Theodor Kocher, the 1909 Nobel laureate.
