Tartu Veterinary Institute (Estonian: Tartu Veterinaariainstituut, German: Kaiserliche Veterinair-Institut zu Dorpat) was an institute which provided a university level education in veterinary medicine. It was located in Tartu, Estonia.[1] The institute was established in 1848 and was, therefore, the oldest veterinary school in Imperial Russia.
The Institute's first director was Hans Peter Boje Jessen [ru].[1]
Studies at the Institute were divided into two levels. The higher level graduated full-fledged veterinarians. The lower level produced veterinary assistants. In 1852, the lower level was discontinued.[1]
In 1918 the Institute became part of Tartu University.[1]
