South Cambridgeshire is a mostly rural local government district of Cambridgeshire, England. It was formed on April 1, 1974 by the merger of Chesterton Rural District and South Cambridgeshire Rural District. It surrounds the city of Cambridge, which is administered separately from the district. After the abolition of South Herefordshire and Hereford districts to form the unitary Herefordshire in 1998, it is the only English district to completely surround another.
The district's coat of arms (shown on the right) contains a reference to the coat of arms of Cambridge University. The motto, the same as that of the old Chesterton Rural District, means "Nothing without work" in Dutch. The district council's headquarters moved from Cambridge to Cambourne in 2004.
