Cambronne-lès-Clermont (, literally Cambronne near Clermont) is a commune in the Oise department in northern France.
The town lies between the valleys of the rivers Brêche and Thérain. Like most towns in the Brêche Valley, Cambronne has stone quarries. The first were used there very long ago. In particular, they have provided the church and houses. Cambronne is known to have existed from the 9th century; and its name is of ancient origin. Its name comes from the words Camp (field) and Onna (source).
