Cambridgeport is one of the neighborhoods of Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is bounded by Massachusetts Avenue, the Charles River, MIT, and Harvard. The commercial district is Central Square, which is also the Subway/MBTA (locally called the T) stop on the Red line.

There are a number of excellent small restaurants in the neighborhood, and Central Square is known for being the Boston area's primary location for live music (well-known venues include TT the Bear's and the Middle East). Cambridgeport is 2 stops on the T from Boston, and a short walk to the Back Bay or Kenmore Square areas of Boston.

Culturally, Cambridgeport is a gentrifying mix of students, young professionals, and longtime residents. The students are mostly graduate students from neighboring MIT and Harvard.

Cambridgeport is also home to University Park at MIT, a mixed-use urban renewal project. Formerly an area of run-down industrial buildings and vacant lots, this is now home to a blend of office buildings, rental housing, and retail space.
