The Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (popularly known as PIDE) (دانشگاہِ پاکستان برائے ارتقائے معاشیات) is a post-graduate research institute, and a public policy think tank located in the vicinity of Islamabad, Pakistan.

Founded in 1957 by the Government of Pakistan, it is located in the university area of Quaid-e-Azam University but it has its own board of overseers. In 1964, it gained its influence on government and gained autonomous status the same year. Since its establishment, the PIDE is an influential voice in the formation of Pakistan's public policy concerning diverse issues. The institute has a long been a place of scholarship of high-profile and prominent individuals who previously held positions in government, including Benazir Bhutto, Mahbub-ul-Haq, Robert Mundell (this Nobel Laureate serves on our Advisory Committee) and Shahid Allam— all PIDE fellows.

Since the 1990s, its research is devoted to theoretical and empirical research in development economics in general and on Pakistan-related economic issues in particular. In addition, the PIDE also grants post-graduate and doctoral studies programmes in various disciplines of social sciences since 2006.
