Cameron McEvoy (born 13 May 1994) is an Australian competitive swimmer who represented his country at the 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024 Summer Olympics. He is the reigning Olympic champion in the men's 50m freestyle, and is also the first Australian man to win an Olympic medal in the event.

McEvoy's main event was initially the 100 m freestyle, and he eventually won the silver medal in the event at the 2015 World Championships. At the 2016 Australian Championships, McEvoy broke the Australian record in the 100 m freestyle and set what was at the time, the fastest time in a textile suit. This made favourite for the event at the 2016 Olympics, however he would go on to finish seventh. After the 2020 Olympics, McEvoy overhauled his training program and started specialising in the 50 m freestyle. This led to a world title and Australian record in 2023, an Olympic gold medal in 2024 and another world title in 2025.
