Lucy Cavendish College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge with a focus on the needs of older women students.

Although women had been allowed to undertake limited study at Cambridge, it was only in 1947 that they were admitted as full members of the student body; even then, the two existing women’s colleges were limited in their numbers. Lucy Cavendish was founded in 1965 by a group of Cambridge alumnae who wanted to expand opportunities for women in Cambridge.

The college is named for Lucy Cavendish (1841-1925), an aristocrat who campaigned for the reform of women's education.

The current President of Lucy Cavendish is Dame Veronica Sutherland.

It is one of the least wealthy colleges with an estimated financial endowment of £9m (2003).
