Upwood, in Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England, is a village near Bury south-west of Ramsey.

In September 1917, the Royal Air Force started work on RAF Upwood, a massive air force base near the village used by both the RAF and the United States Air Force.

Two nature reserves, Lady's Wood and Upwood Meadows, lie near to the village; the latter is a National Nature Reserve. [ [http://www.english-nature.org.uk/special/nnr/nnr_details.asp?nnr_name=&C=5&Habitat=0&natural_area=&local_team=0&spotlight_reserve=0&X=&NNR_ID=160 Natural England] ]
