赠地大学（Land-grant universities、land-grant colleges、land-grant institutions）是美国由国会指定，得益于莫雷尔法的高等教育机构。

莫雷尔法通过将联邦政府拥有的土地赠与各州来兴办、资助教育机构。根据法案第40条，这些大学的宗旨在于教授农学、军事战术和机械工艺，不排斥古典教育，使得劳工阶级子弟能获得实用的大学教育。

爱荷华州是第一个批准莫雷尔法的州（1862年），使爱荷华州立大学成为第一所指定的赠地大学。第一个新成立的赠地大学是堪萨斯州立大学，成立于1863年2月16日。最古老的赠地大学是罗格斯大学（Rutgers University），成立于1766年。成立于1855年的密歇根州立大学被称为赠地大学先驱，是其后赠地大学效仿的对象。

A land-grant university (also called land-grant college or land-grant institution) is an institution of higher education in the United States designated by a state to receive the benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890.

The Morrill Acts funded educational institutions by granting federally controlled land to the states for them to sell to raise funds to establish and endow "land-grant" colleges. The mission of these institutions as set forth in the 1862 Act is to focus on the teaching of practical agriculture, science, military science and engineering (though "without excluding ... classical studies"), as a response to the industrial revolution and changing social class. This mission was in contrast to the historic practice of higher education to focus on an abstract liberal arts curriculum.
