耶鲁大学(Yale University)是一所坐落于美国康涅狄格州纽黑文的私立大学，创于1701年，初名“大学学院”(Collegiate School)。耶鲁大学是美国历史上建立的第三所大学(第一所是哈佛大学，第二所是威廉玛丽学院)，该校教授阵容、学术创新、课程设置和场馆设施等方面堪称一流，与哈佛大学、普林斯顿大学齐名，历年来共同角逐美国大学和研究生院前三的位置。
在美国的教育界，流传着这样一句话：“普林斯顿董事掌权、哈佛校长当家、耶鲁教授做主。”耶鲁的“教授治校”举世闻名，耶鲁凭借其优秀的学子创造了一个政坛的奇迹。所以，耶鲁素有“总统摇篮”之称，教员之间经常开得玩笑就是：“一不小心，你就会教出一个总统来。”
