Cambridge Aerodrome {{airport codes||YCBG}}, also known as Cambridge Airport, is a minor airport located in Cambridge, a suburb of 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.{{Citation needed|date=November 2012}} In July 1934, the federal government compulsorily acquired {{convert|190|acre|ha}} of land from a local farmer to establish an aerodrome on the current site.[2] It served as Hobart's main airport until the International Airport opened in 1956. Today, it is the base of Par Avion, which specialises in day trips and scenic flights around Hobart and the South West Wilderness of Tasmania; the Aeroclub of Southern Tasmania; and Heli Resources, a Helicopter Company that focuses on aerial work and flights in Antarctica.
