中國文化研究所成立於1967年11月1日，以「結合傳統與現代，融會中國與西方」為使命，促進中國文化及相關領域的研究。研究所首任所長由李卓敏校長兼任，臨時所址設於九龍彌敦道545號安利大廈，而首項重點工作為創辦《中國文化研究所學報》。1971年，沙田校園中的中國文化研究所落成啓用。研究所四合院式設計出自大學建築師司徒惠手筆，並得著名建築師貝聿銘提供意見。
現時研究所下設文物館 (1971)、翻譯研究中心 (1971)、中國考古藝術研究中心 (1978)、吳多泰中國語文研究中心 (1979)、當代中國文化研究中心 (1993)、劉殿爵中國古籍研究中心 (2005)，及中國研究服務中心 (1963；2013年加入研究所)，同時積極與校內多個與中國研究有關的單位建立合作關係，推動中國研究。研究所主要出版物包括：《中國文化研究所學報》、《二十一世紀》、《中國語文研究》、《譯叢》、及《漢達古籍研究叢書》等。各單位亦常出版專刊、叢書及其他學術專書。
