Cambridge University Press and Assessment is a non-school institution of the University of Cambridge. It was formed under Queen Elizabeth II's approval in August 2021 by the merge between Cambridge University Press and Cambridge Assessment. The institution is headquartered in Cambridge, England, with 50 overseas office locations.

The institution's products include the Cambridge Dictionary, Cambridge Core, IGCSEs, Cambridge Technicals, Linguaskill and hundreds of academic journals and books.

Following the merger, the combined group calculated that it reaches 100 million learners worldwide, with 85% of its revenues coming from outside the United Kingdom. It reported revenue in excess of £1 billion and operating profit above £200 million in 2024.
