The MSU Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics (Russian: Механико-математический факультет МГУ) is a faculty of Moscow State University.

Although lectures in mathematics had been delivered since Moscow State University was founded in 1755, the mathematical and physical department was founded only in 1804.

In 1953 the department moved to a new building on the Sparrow Hills and the current division in mathematics and mechanics branches was settled.

[1] A 2014 article entitled "Math as a tool of anti-semitism" in The Mathematics Enthusiast discussed antisemitism in the Moscow State University’s Department of Mathematics during the 1970s and 1980s.

[2][3][4] Today the Department comprises 26 chairs (17 in the mathematical and 9 in the mechanics branch) and 14 research laboratories.
