Must Farm is a Bronze Age archaeological site consisting of five houses raised on stilts above a river and built around 950 BC in Cambridgeshire, England.

More material was collected by the 1898 Cambridge anthropological expedition to the Torres Strait under Alfred Haddon and W. H. R. Rivers.

The museum is open to the public Tuesday to Friday (10.00am to 5.00pm) and on Saturdays in university term time (10.00am to 1.00pm). The museum is one of eight which make up the University of Cambridge Museums consortium. Its former home on Little St Mary's Lane was designed by Basil Champneys in 1883.
