The East Cambridgeshire District (locally known as "East Cambs") is a local government district in Cambridgeshire, England. Its council is based in Ely. The population of the district at the 2011 UK census was 83,818.

The district was formed on 1 April 1974 with the merger of Ely Urban District, Ely Rural District and Newmarket Rural District.

During the period 1894-1965 Ely Rural District was in the administrative county of Isle of Ely while Newmarket Rural District was in Cambridgeshire. Hence the differing descriptions of the two rural districts.
