Trevecca Nazarene University is a liberal arts university in Nashville, Tennessee. The university was founded in 1901 by J. O. McClurkan. Originally named the Literary and Bible Training School for Christian Workers, the school's name was changed to Trevecca College in 1911. The name was taken from a Welsh school in 1768 that was established during the Wesleyan revival. The school's motto is Esse quam videri, a Latin phrase meaning "To be rather than to seem".

The school was originally located in downtown Nashville, on the current site of the historic Ryman Auditorium. In 1914, the campus was moved to East Nashville on Gallatin Road and by 1917 the school became an official college of the Church of the Nazarene.
In 1935, the college was moved to its present location on Murfreesboro Road in southeast Nashville. It was first accredited in 1969 and began offering master's degrees in 1984. In 1995, the school's name was changed to Trevecca Nazarene University. Trevecca started its doctorate program in 2000.
