Camponotus fellah is a species of carpenter ant found across the Middle East and North Africa. This species was named as a variety of Camponotus maculatus race oasium by Emery in 1891, as cited by Dalla Torre in 1893. A C. fellah queen holds the record for Israeli ant longevity, surviving for 26 years (1983–2009) in a laboratory environment.
