A cubic centimetre (or cubic centimeter in US English) (SI unit symbol: cm3; non-SI abbreviations: cc and ccm) is a commonly used unit of volume that corresponds to the volume of a cube that measures 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm. One cubic centimetre corresponds to a volume of one millilitre. The mass of one cubic centimetre of water at 3.98 °C (the temperature at which it attains its maximum density) is almost equal to one gram.

One complete cycle of a [[straight-four engine]]. The areas marked in orange represent the displaced volumes.]]In [[internal combustion engine]]s, "cc" refers to the total volume of its [[engine displacement]] in cubic centimetres. The displacement can be calculated using the formula

: d = {\pi \over 4} \times b^2 \times s \times n where d is engine displacement, b is the bore of the cylinders, s is length of the stroke and n is the number of cylinders.

Conversions

1 millilitre = 1 cm3
1 litre = 1000 cm3
1 cubic inch = 1 in3.
