TheTrustees of Princeton University is a 40-member board responsible for managingPrinceton University's $37.6 billion endowment (2021), real estate, instructional programs, and admission. The Trustees include at least 13 members elected by alumni classes, and theGovernor of New Jersey and thePresident of the university asex officio members.

The Trustees' mission and responsibilities stem from the original charter of the college, written in 1746. The Trustees oversee the budget of the university through the Princeton University Investment Company (PRINCO). Notable recent policy decisions include implementing theresidential college system, acceptingcoeducation, and increasing the size of the undergraduate student body.

Unlike most other governing boards of universities, the Trustees of Princeton University is chartered as a 40-membercorporation in its own right that has the authority to establish and govern Princeton University and to grant degrees in the same. This is similar to most of the oldest universities and colleges in the United States (including all of the Ivy League universities except forCornell University), such as thePresident and Fellows of Harvard College and theYale Corporation.
