The Amos Tuck School of Business Administration was founded in 1900 at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire and the oldest graduate school of business in the world. It is one of six Ivy League business schools.

Tuck offers only one degree program, the Master of Business Administration, alongside shorter programmes for executives and recent college graduates. It co-operates with a Masters in Engineering Management offered by Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering and also offers a number of dual degrees, including a joint MD/MBA in conjunction with the Dartmouth Medical School, an MSEL/MBA with the Vermont Law School and a MALD/MBA with the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.

The school was established by Edward Tuck, and was originally named the Amos Tuck School of Administration and Finance (in memory of his father). In 1941, the official name was changed to the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration.

Tuck initially donated $300,000 in the form of 1,700 shares of preferred stock in the Great Northern Railway Company of Minnesota. He later gave $100,000 to build the first Tuck Hall (now McNutt Hall) in 1901, and over $500,000 for the current Tuck Hall complex in 1929.
