The following is a list of churches in Cambridge, England.

Cambridge had sixteen medieval parish churches: All Saints by the Castle, All Saints by the Jewry, St Andrew the Great, St Andrew the Less, St Bene't, St Botolph, St Clement, St Edward, St Giles, St John Zachary, St Mary, St Michael, St Peter by the Castle, St Peter outside Trumpington Gates (later renamed St Mary the Less), St Radegund?, Holy Sepulchre and Holy Trinity. Three of these have been demolished, while a further four remain standing but do not hold regular services. The other nine (StAG, St Bene't, St Botolph, St Clement, St Edward, St Giles, St Mary the Great, St Mary the Less, Holy Trinity) are still in operation, a high rate of survival attributable partly to the presence of the university and the resultant preponderance of both clergy and money.

The growth of the town in the 19th and 20th centuries necessitated the building of further Anglican churches, in addition to the medieval parish churches of Chesterton (St Andrew's), Cherry Hinton (St Andrew's), and Trumpington (SS Mary & Michael's) which were swallowed up by the urban sprawl: Christ Church (1839), St Paul's (1841), St Luke's (1863), St Matthew's (1866), St Barnabas' (1869), St Mark's (1870), St Philip's (1891), St John the Evangelist's (1896), St Augustine's (1898), St Martin's (1932), St George's (1938), St Stephen's (1940s), Holy Cross (C20th), St James's (1955), Good Shepherd (1958), St Thomas's (1980) and St John's Orchard Park (2013). In addition All Saints' Church (formerly All Saints by the Jewry) was resited and rebuilt in 1863. St Stephen's has closed, as has the resited All Saints, but the others are still active. There was also a mission chapel of St John's, Wellington Street, from 1874 until the 1940s.
