贝勒医学院（Baylor College of Medicine）是美国的一所私立医学院，被认为是全美最杰出的医学院之一。它座落于德克萨斯州风景宜人的休士顿，位于著名的德克萨斯医学中心里面。
贝勒医学院是全美少数资金超过十亿美金的学校之一，在USNEWS全美医学院排名当中，贝勒医学院于医学研究项目排在全美第十，临床治疗排在第十一，博士班排名二十二。全美能够在医学院，治疗部和 生物研究三方面均进入前10%的机构仅有4家：贝勒医学院、 杜克大学、 加州大学旧金山分校以及 华盛顿大学。贝勒医学院的研究强项在 发育生物学， 细胞生物学， 心血管疾病以及 干细胞研究。
该校1900年原成立于 达拉斯，为 达拉斯大学医学部，三年后依附于Waco的贝勒大学，并于1943年脱离贝勒大学而独立，并且搬移到休士顿，现在与贝勒大学是属于两个完全不同的学校。
