Cherry Hinton Hall is a small house and park in Cherry Hinton, to the south of Cambridge, England. The house and grounds are owned and managed by Cambridge City Council.

The Hall is most well known for hosting the annual Cambridge Folk Festival, an ever-growing (in size and popularity) event that regularly draws thousands to the park. During the summer months, aside from hosting the Folk Festival, Cherry Hinton Hall is alive with predominantly young families enjoying the wide open grass spaces and the large duck pond which for many is the defining feature of the park along with the vast array of other wildlife living there. Many community activities also take place in the park, such as an archaeological and buildings survey carried out by children at the local St. Bede's Inter-Church Comprehensive School, in 2007.

In 2007, Cherry Hinton Hall became home to Cambridge International Preparatory School (CIPS). The school is owned by the Sturdy family who also own Sancton Wood School in Cambridge and Holme Court School for dyslexics in Biggleswade.

In 2009 The Friends of Cherry Hinton Hall formed a new group of people concerned about the usage, environment, welfare and future of the park for the benefit of those who use it most. The friends want to act as advocates / champions of Cherry Hinton Hall grounds for the general public and act as a communication channel between the Council and public.
