Ewen Henry John Cameron (1 March 1921  - 12 January 1997) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played five first-class matches for Otago in the 1953–54 and 1954–55 seasons.[1]

Cameron was born at Dunedin in 1921 and worked a country schoolteacher who was famous locally for writing musicals.[2] He was educated at Waitaki Boys' High School[3] and made his representative debut for Otago at the age of 32―Wisden said "belatedly"―taking two wickets on debut, conceding just 30 runs from 32 overs.[2] He died in 1997 at Clyde in Central Otago at the age of 75. Obituaries were published in the 1997 New Zealand Cricket Almanack and in Wisden the following year.[2] [3]
