Occupy Vanderbilt is an ongoing demonstration and occupation located at Alumni Circle Lawn in Nashville, Tennessee at Vanderbilt University.

This occupation is in solidarity with the global occupy movement and Occupy Nashville, and is notable as the first community or neighborhood occupation/assembly in the city of Nashville, the spread of which in countries like Argentina, Greece and Spain originally inspired the Occupy movement.
