The Karachi University Botanical Garden, officially known as the University of Karachi Botanic Garden and part of the Centre for Plant Conservation (CPC), is Pakistan's first botanical garden at an educational institution and the first of its kind in the country dedicated to documented study of collected plant species for research and preservation.

Located in Karachi East District, Sindh, on the University of Karachi campus, the garden spans 35 acres and is divided into 13 regions, housing well-documented approximately 2,000 to 3,000 plant species including exotic and indigenous plants, flowering plants, wild plants, medicinal plants, halophytes, alpine plants, and fruit-bearing trees in living form.

The garden was inaugurated on September 12, 2007, by Dr. Ishratul Ebad Khan, the Governor of Sindh and Chancellor of the University of Karachi, making the University of Karachi the first educational institution in Pakistan to have such a facility for study and research on flora. The entire garden was developed using treated water from a Sewerage Treatment Plant specially set up within the campus, reflecting sustainable water management practices.
