The Cambridge Footlights, eller bare Footlights, er en teatergruppe av studenter ved Cambridge University i Storbritannia. Footlights ble etablert i 1883 og er en av Storbritannias eldste i sitt slag. Opprinnelig fremførte de musikalske komedier i Cambridge-distriktet, senere har det vært mest revy, sketsjer og pantomime. Mange ledende skuespillere og komikere i Storbritannia begynte karrieren der. Blant kjente tidligere medlemmer av Footlights er Germaine Greer, Miriam Margolyes, Salman Rushdie, Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Peter Cook, Olivia Colman, Griff Rhys Jones, John Cleese, Eric Idle, David Mitchell, Douglas Adams[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] og Miriam Margolyes.[9] David Frost var i sin tid sekretær for gruppen.[10] Trevor Nunn, Humphrey Barclay og Clive James var regissører.[8]

Footlights var særlig fra 1950-tallet ledende i nyskapende revy og komedie i Storbritannia.[11]
