The '''Stuart Collection''' is a collection of public art on the campus of the [[University of California, San Diego]]. Founded in 1981, the Stuart Collection's goal is to spread commissioned sculpture throughout the campus, including both traditional sculptures and site-specific works integrating with features of the campus such as landscaping and buildings. It is supported by the UC San Diego Department of [[Visual Arts]], the [[National Endowment for the Arts]], and many private organizations and individuals.

The collection was conceived by and named after its initial benefactor, James Stuart DeSilva.<ref name="desilvadeath">{{cite news|last1=Timberg|first1=Scott|title=James DeSilva, 83; Funded Sculpture Collection at UC San Diego|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-sep-19-me-desilva19-story.html|access-date=22 May 2016|work=Los Angeles Times|date=19 September 2002|ref=James DeSilva, 83; Funded Sculpture Collection at UC San Diego}}</ref> The collection was administered by Director [[Mary L.
