Baku State University (Azerbaijani: Bakı Dövlət Universiteti) is a public university located in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Founded in 1919 by an act of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, the University opened with departments of history, philology, physics, mathematics, law and medicine with an enrollment of 1094. The first rector of university was V.I. Razumovsky, former professor of surgery at Kazan University.

In 1930, the government ordered the University shut down in accordance with a reorganization of higher education, and was replaced with the Supreme Pedagogical Institute. However, in 1934 the University was reestablished and continued its previous work. The University also made it through a tough time during World War II, which created a shortage of faculty members.

By 50th anniversary of University in 1959, there were 13 schools. The Azerbaijan Medical University and Azerbaijan State Economic University are both outgrowths of their original respective departments at Baku State University.

Among its alumni, the University counted Heydar Aliyev, who dominated the political life of Azerbaijan for over 30 years and was president of the country for its first decade of independence. As a result, the University received strong government support.
