四川大學是教育部直屬全國重點大學，是國家布局在中國西部的重點建設的高水平研究型綜合大學，是國家“雙一流”建設高校(A類)。四川大學地處中國歷史文化名城——“天府之國”的成都，有望江、華西和江安三個校區，占地面積7050畝，校舍建筑面積280.64萬平方米。學校正與眉山市合作共建四川大學眉山校區。校園環境幽雅、花木繁茂、碧草如茵、景色宜人，是讀書治學的理想園地。
四川大學由原四川大學、原成都科技大學、原華西醫科大學三所全國重點大學經過兩次合并而成。原四川大學起始于1896年四川總督鹿傳霖奉光緒特旨創辦的四川中西學堂，是西南地區最早的近代高等學校；原成都科技大學是新中國院系調整時組建的第一批多科型工科院校；原華西醫科大學源于1910年由西方基督教會組織在成都創辦的華西協合大學，是西南地區最早的西式大學和國內最早培養研究生的大學之一。1994年，原四川大學和原成都科技大學合并為四川聯合大學，1998年更名為四川大學。江澤民、李鵬等黨和國家領導人就兩校合并為學校題詞并寄予深切厚望。2000年，四川大學與原華西醫科大學合并，組建了新的四川大學。
四川大學承文翁之教，聚群賢英才。百余年來，學校先后匯聚了歷史學家顧頡剛、文學家李劼人、美學家朱光潛、物理學家吳大猷、植物學家方文培、衛生學家陳志潛、數學家柯召等大師。歷史上，吳玉章、張瀾曾執掌校務，共和國開國元勛朱德、共和國主席楊尚昆、文壇巨匠郭沫若、人民作家巴金、一代英烈江竹筠（江姐）等曾在川大求學。中國科學院和中國工程院院士中，有70位是川大校友。
