GRE，全称Graduate Record Examination，中文名称为美国研究生入学考试，适用于申请世界范围内的理工科、人文社科、商科、法学等多个专业的硕士、博士以及MBA等教育项目，由美国教育考试服务中心（Educational Testing Service，简称ETS）主办。
GRE是世界各地的大学各类研究生院要求申请者所具备的一个入学考试成绩，也是招生委员会对申请者是否授予奖学金所依据的最重要的标准。 GRE首次由美国哈佛，耶鲁，哥伦比亚，普林斯顿四所大学联合举办，初期由卡耐基基金会（Carnegie Foundation）承办，1948年交由新成立的教育测试中心ETS负责。之后每年在世界许多地方举行。中国教育部考试中心负责中国归口管理和承办GRE等国外考试。
