哥伦比亚大学是一所坐落于美国纽约的私立常春藤联盟研究型大学。它是纽约州最古老的高等学校，在全美历史最悠久大学中排第五名，也是成立于美国革命之前的九所大学之一。哥伦比亚大学每年管理派发普利策奖。至2012年，101位诺贝尔奖获得者是该大学的学生、教员或雇员，获奖人数在世界排名第二。
The university was founded in 1754 as King's College by royal charter of George II of Great Britain. After the American Revolutionary War, King's College briefly became a state entity, and was renamed Columbia College in 1784. The University now operates under a 1787 charter that places the institution under a private board of trustees and in 1896 it was further renamed Columbia University. That same year, the university's campus was moved from Madison Avenue to its current location in Morningside Heights, where it occupies more than six city blocks, or 32 acres.
这所大学的前身是于1754年依据英国乔治二世的皇家宪章设立的剑桥大学国王学院。美国革命战争之后，剑桥大学国王学院暂时变成了政府机构，并于1784年改名为哥伦比亚学院。该大学依据1787年制订宪章运作并在私立受托管理委员会的监督下实施这些制度，于1896年再次更名为哥伦比亚大学。同年，哥伦比亚大学校园从麦德逊大道搬至其当下占地超过6个街区、32英亩的晨边高地。
The university encompasses twenty schools and is affiliated with numerous institutions, including Teachers College, Barnard College, and the Union Theological Seminary.
该大学包括20个学院，其下属有多个机构，包括哥伦比亚大学教师学院、巴纳德学院和纽约协和神学院。
