Camperduin is a hamlet in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is part of the municipality of Bergen, and lies about 12 km northwest of Alkmaar.
The hamlet was originally known simply as Camp or Kamp, with the name Camperduin ("dunes of Camp") denoting the dunes that separated it from the sea. A church was built at Camp in 1689, but demolished in 1807.
The village gave its name to the Battle of Camperdown, which took place off the coast.
