The Technological Educational Institute (TEI) of Athens (TEI ATH; Greek: Ανώτατο Τεχνολογικό Εκπαιδευτικό Ίδρυμα Αθήνας) was a state higher-educational institute in Athens, only for applied sciences.
Founded in 1983, it originated from one of the first five Centres for Higher Technical Education (Greek: Κέντρα Ανώτερης Τεχνικής Επαγγελματικής Εκπαίδευσης, Κ.Α.Τ.Ε.Ε.) initially established in 1974. The Technological Educational Institute of Athens offered a wide range of undergraduate and some -level 7- postgraduate studies.
On 1 March 2018, the institute definitively ceased its operation, with its merger with the ΤΕΙ of Piraeus and its upgrading to a University Institution, the newly established University of West Attica (Greek: Πανεπιστήμιο Δυτικής Αττικής).
