Cambridge Aerodrome (ICAO: YCBG), also known as Cambridge Airport, is a minor airport serving Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. It is located only a few kilometres from the primary airport, Hobart International Airport.

Cambridge has been the primary site of aeronautics in Hobart from its opening in the 1920s. It served as Hobart's main airport until the International Airport opened in 1956. Today it is the base of Par Avion airlines who specialise in day trips and scenic flights around Hobart and the South West Wilderness of Tasmania, and also the Aeroclub of Southern Tasmania.
