A Universidade de Tsinghua é uma universidade chinesa situada em Pequim, considerada uma das mais prestigiadas da República Popular da China. Quando foi fundada em 1911, era uma escola preparatória para estudantes que desejavam fazer estudos de pós-graduação em universidades americanas.
Em 1925, Tsinghua transformou-se numa universidade e atualmente oferece cursos de graduação de quatro anos (bacharelato) e cursos de pós-graduação (mestrado e doutoramento).
