Abstract: 
For universal spacetimes, all rank-2 tensors constructed from the metric,
Riemann tensors, and its covariant derivatives of arbitrary order are
proportional to the metric. Consequently, all vacuum field equations of
generalized theories of gravity following from Lagrangian constructed from
the Riemann tensors and its covariant derivatives of arbitrary order are
simultaneously satisfied. We will present necessary and sufficient
conditions for several classes of universal spacetimes of Lorentzian
signature, some explicit examples of such spacetimes, and discuss certain
useful generalizations of the universal property.
