Cambridge University Press is the printing and publishing house of the University of Cambridge. It is an integral part of the University and is devoted constitutionally to printing and publishing for "the acquisition, advancement, conservation, and dissemination of knowledge in all subjects". As such, it is a charitable, not-for-profit organisation, free from tax worldwide.

Cambridge University Press is the oldest printing and publishing house in the world. It was founded on a royal charter granted to the University by Henry VIII in 1534 and has been operating continuously as a printer and publisher since the first Press book was printed in 1584. Since then, books under Cambridge University's imprint have appeared in each and every year.
