Fen Ditton is a small riverside village and civil parish just to the east of Cambridge in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England. Sitting on the east bank of the River Cam, it has long been shaped by the river - historically a crossing and local centre for mills, boat-building and river trade - and today the towpaths and meadowland make it popular for walks and wildlife watching.
Despite its proximity to the city, Fen Ditton retains a distinct village character with a mix of historic cottages, a compact village core and community activities; the nearby Ditton Meadows and floodplain provide valuable green space. The local economy is largely residential and commuter-oriented now, but its riverine and agricultural past is still visible in the layout and buildings.
