Huntingdon and Peterborough was a short-lived Administrative County in England .

It was formed in 1965 by the merger of the administrations of Soke Of Peterborough and Huntingdonshire , both very small counties, in an attempt to make a more viable administrative unit. To these were attached the Thorney Rural District from the Isle Of Ely .

This attempt was deemed a failure and so the area became part of the Non-metropolitan County of Cambridgeshire in 1974 .
