麻省理工学院(Massachusetts Institute of Technology,MIT)是美国一所综合性私立大学,位于马萨诸塞州剑桥市(剑桥市属于波士顿都市区,波士顿都市区属于大波士顿地区),校园面积166英亩,查尔斯河(Charles River)将其与波士顿的后湾区(Back Bay)隔开,于1861年由著名自然科学家威廉・巴顿・罗杰斯创立,他希望能够创建一个自由的学院来迎合快速发展时期的美国。由于南北战争,直到1865年MIT才迎来了第一批学生,随后其在自然及工程领域迅速发展。在大萧条时期,MIT曾一度被认为会同哈佛大学合并,但在该校学生的抗议之下,被迫取消了这一计划。在名称方面,麻省理工学院正确的翻译名称应为“马萨诸塞理工学院”,因麻省理工学院的译名起自清朝时期,后人沿用至今。在北美洲,Institute是指理工、工学、科技、技术或专科性的高等院校。
