Kambja (German: Kamby) is a small borough (Estonian: alevik) in Tartu County, Estonia.

The first mention of Kambja and the church at its present location dates to as early as 1330.

During World War II, on 19 August 1944, the church was bombed by the invading Russian troops.

The church remained in ruins until 1987, when the times started to change and on the initiative of Ivar Tedrema, the state farm director at that time, and with the help of school principal Madis Linnamägi, Toivo Traksmaa and many others, the renovation began.

The Lutheran congregation was re-established in 1994. Notable people that were born or lived in Kambja include the following:
