Sun Yat-sen University ({{zh|c=中山大学|p=|links=no|labels=no}}; SYSU) is a public research university in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. It is affiliated with the Ministry of Education, and co-funded by the Ministry of Education, SASTIND, and Guangdong Provincial Government. The university is part of Project 211, Project 985, and the Double First-Class Construction.
The university was founded in 1924 by and named after Sun Yat-sen, a revolutionary and the founder of the Republic of China. The university's main campus, commonly referred to as the South Campus, is located in Haizhu, Guangzhou, inheriting the campus from the former Lingnan University (est. 1888).

Originally, each of the Sun Yat-sen Universities were adopted a statism educational model, ({{lang|zh|中山大學模式}}){{cite book | author=海南省作家协会 | title=天涯 | publisher=《天涯》杂志社 | issue=nos. 1-6 | year=1997 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O86GAAAAIAAJ | language=zh | access-date=2024-05-06 | page=32}} and based on Sun Yat-sen's political philosophy,Wen-Hsin Yeh, The Alienated Academy: Culture and Politics in Republican China, 1919-1937. Harvard University Asia Center (November 15, 2000). p.173-176. present-day Sun Yat-sen University is the result of multiple mergers as well as splits and restructurings that have involved more than a dozen academic institutions over time. The most recent merger happened in 2001, when Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Science merged with Sun Yat-sen University and became Sun Yat-sen College of Medical Science.{{Cn|date=October 2024}}

In 1924, Sun Yat-sen founded National Kwangtung University ({{lang|zh|國立廣東大學}}) in Canton and inscribed in his own handwriting the school motto of "Study Extensively, Enquire Accurately, Reflect Carefully, Discriminate Clearly, Practise Earnestly." After the death of Sun Yat-sen, the Nationalist government that was set up during the first cooperation between the Communists and Nationalists formally decreed to change its name to National Sun Yat-sen University ({{lang|zh|國立中山大學}}) on July 17, 1926, in memory of Sun Yat-sen.{{cite book | title=中华民国专题史·第十卷:教育的变革与发展 | publisher=南京大学出版社 | year=2015 | isbn=978-7-305-14833-0 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hgI6EAAAQBAJ&pg=PT143 | language=zh | access-date=2024-05-06 | page=143}} In 1926, there were four National Sun Yat-sen Universities: National First Sun Yat-sen University in Canton (the current Sun Yat-sen University), National Second Sun Yat-sen University in Wuhan (the current Wuhan University), National Third Sun Yat-sen University in Hangzhou (the current Zhejiang University), National Fourth Sun Yat-sen University in Nanking (the predecessor of the current Nanjing University, Southeast University, and National Central University). The Nationalist government also planned to organize the National Fifth Sun Yat-sen University in Zhengzhou, but end up naming it as the Henan Provincial Sun Yat-sen University (the current Henan University).{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
In the 1930s, there were seven schools in the University: the Schools of Arts, Sciences, Law, Engineering, Agricultural Studies, Medicine and Education.{{cite book | title=校影 | publisher=中山大学出版社 | series=中山大学80周年校庆丛书 | year=2004 | isbn=978-7-306-02397-1 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0AHjAAAAMAAJ | language=zh | access-date=2024-05-06 | page=74}} In 1935, National Sun Yat-sen University, concurrently with National Tsinghua University and National Peking University, set up the first graduate schools in China and began to enroll graduate students.{{cite book | title=中国知名大学校长访谈录 | publisher=中国文联出版社 | year=2005 | isbn=978-7-5059-4861-7 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8PVHAAAAMAAJ | language=zh | access-date=2024-05-06 | page=229}}
In 1949, the University removed its prefix "National" and has been thereafter referred directly to Sun Yat-sen University ({{lang|zh|中山大学}}). In the 1950s, colleges, schools and departments were readjusted nationwide, and Sun Yat-sen University became a national top-tier comprehensive university with the liberal arts and sciences as its backbone disciplines.{{cite book | title=中华人民共和国地名大词典 | publisher=商务印书馆 | issue=v. 4 | year=1998 | isbn=978-7-100-01836-4 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ts4QAQAAMAAJ | language=zh | access-date=2024-05-06 | page=6916}}
=Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences=
One of the predecessors of the Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Science was the Pok Tsai Medical School, which, founded in 1866, was the earliest institution of learning of western medicine in China, where Sun Yat-sen once studied and engaged in revolutionary activities.{{cite book | last=Spencer | first=C. | title=Sun Yat-sen, Founder of the Chinese Republic | publisher=John Day Company | year=1967 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aANBAAAAIAAJ | access-date=2024-05-06 | page=185}}
The Pok Tsai Medical School evolved into the College of Medicine of Lingnan University in 1936. The Kung Yee Medical School and Hospital in Guangzhou (Canton) was founded in 1908. In 1925, the Kung Yee institutions were taken over by the government and became the Medical Department of the National First Sun Yat-sen (Zhongshan) University.Chi-Min Wong, Liande Wu, History of Chinese Medicine: Being a Chronicle of Medical Happenings in China from Ancient Times to the Present Period, AMS Press, 1973, p. 658. In 1953, the Colleges of Medicine in Sun Yat-sen University and Lingnan University merged to form the College of Medicine of South China, which was joined by the Guangdong Guanghua College of Medicine in 1954. The university was renamed Guangzhou College of Medicine and Sun Yat-sen College of Medical Science successively, and finally Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Science in 1985, which has developed steadfastly into a comprehensive medical university with multi-schools and multiple levels, has reached national advanced level and achieved remarkable successes in scientific research in medical genetics, ophthalmology, tumor study, parasite study, the kidney disease of internal medicine, organ transplant, infectious liver disease, biological medical project and molecular medical science. In 2001, Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Science merged with Sun Yat-sen University and became Sun Yat-sen College of Medical Science.{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
