The Cambridge Street Firehouse is a historic fire station at 534 Cambridge Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. The two story brick building was built in 1886 in a Queen Anne style, with some Romanesque details. It is nearly identical to Worcester's Woodland Street Firehouse; both were designed by Fuller & Delano and built the same year.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980,[1] at which time it was still an active firehouse.[2] Engine 14 and Ladder 9 ran out of this station over the years. Engine 14 was eliminated in 1991, Ladder 9 in the 1960s.
