right|thumb|The poisoning of Camma and Synorix in the temple of Diana (Charles Poerson, 17th century).

Camma () was a Galatian princess and priestess of Artemis whom Plutarch writes about in both On the Bravery of Women and the Eroticus or Amatorius. As Plutarch is our only source on Camma, her historicity cannot be independently verified. In both works, Plutarch cites her as an exemplar of fidelity and courage in love.
