The '''CB postcode area''', also known as the '''Cambridge postcode area''',<ref>Royal Mail, ''Address Management Guide'', (2004)</ref> is a group of sixteen postcode districts in the [[east of England]], within five [[post town]]s. These cover much of south and east [[Cambridgeshire]] (including [[Cambridge]] and [[Ely, Cambridgeshire|Ely]]), plus parts of west [[Suffolk]] (including [[Newmarket, Suffolk|Newmarket]] and [[Haverhill, Suffolk|Haverhill]]) and north-west [[Essex]] (including [[Saffron Walden]]), and a very small part of [[Norfolk]].

Districts CB21 to CB25 were formed in September 2006 from the parts of districts CB1 to CB5 lying outside of the city of Cambridge.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.miltonvillage.org.uk/newpostcodes.html |title=Proposed Changes to CB1-5 Postcode Addresses |access-date=29 January 2007 |website=www.miltonvillage.org.uk |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061015115310/http://www.miltonvillage.org.uk/newpostcodes.html |archive-date=2006-10-15 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.whatgas.com/postcodecheck.aspx |title=Conversion tool between old and new postcodes |access-date=28 February 2007 |website=www.whatgas.com }}</ref><ref>[http://www.royalmail.com/link/download?catId=4200004&mediaId=36100678 Royal Mail Postcode Update 43]{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
