Papworth Everard is a village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set on the gentle fen‑edge countryside about eight to ten miles west of Cambridge. It sits near main road links and is surrounded by farmland, giving a mix of commuter‑friendly access and a rural feel that still supports local shops, clubs and sports facilities.
The village is best known for the early 20th‑century Papworth Village Settlement, originally founded as a tuberculosis colony and closely associated with the former specialist Papworth Hospital and the charitable Papworth Trust; the hospital services moved to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus in 2019. Today the community combines residential areas with a small business and industrial estate, a parish church and active local groups, reflecting its distinctive social and medical history alongside everyday village life.
