Harold Raines Cameron (10 October 1912 - 8 October 2000) was a New Zealand cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman who played for Otago.
Cameron was born at Dunedin in 1912, the younger brother of Donald Cameron who also played for Otago.[1] He was educated at Otago Boys' High School and worked as a sales manager.[2]
Cameron made a single first-class appearance for the Otago during the 1939–40 season in a Plunket Shield match against Wellington. From the upper-middle order, he scored 26 runs in the first innings in which he batted, and 18 runs in the second.[3] He had first played representative cricket for the side in the 1935–36 season match against Southland, and played a total of five times for Otago, including three times against Southland and in a match in March 1939 against a touring English side.[3] He later became an Otago selector.[2]
Cameron died in 2000 at Auckland. He was 87.[4] An obituary was published in the New Zealand Cricket Almanack the following year.[2]
