香港大學醫學院是本港歷史最悠久的高等教育學府，於1887年由倫敦傳道會創立，原稱香港華人西醫書院，後於1907年更名為香港西醫書院。

1911年香港大學正式成立，香港西醫書院併入香港大學，成為大學的首個學院。一直以來，醫學院竭誠服務香港，著重明德育才、持續創新和積極求進，並秉持仁愛關懷、高瞻遠矚的精神。醫學院成立逾一世紀，是醫學教育、培訓及研究的先驅。

醫學院力臻卓越，自最初只擁寥寥數名成員發展成現時香港大學最具規模的學院，有超過400名全職教員及800名研究及有關支援人員，本科生和研究生則分別約2,900人和1,500人。學院轄下有14個學系，另設生物醫學學院、中醫藥學院、護理學院、公共衞生學院，以及多個專責不同研究領域的中心。
