Le laboratoire Cavendish (Cavendish Laboratory) est le département de physique de l'université de Cambridge. Il fait partie de l'école de sciences physiques. Il a ouvert en 1874 comme l'un des premiers laboratoires d'enseignement en Angleterre. Son nom honore Henry Cavendish fameux physicien anglais de la fin du XVIIIe siècle.
Parmi les chercheurs célèbres qui s'y sont succédé :
Plus récemment, James Watson et Francis Crick ont déterminé en 1953 la structure en double hélice de l'ADN après de nombreux tâtonnements et grâce notamment à la diffractométrie de rayons X. Cette découverte leur valut le prix Nobel de médecine avec Maurice Wilkins.
