Kamome (Japanese: かもめ; lit. 'seagull') is a high-speed Shinkansen service operated on the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen by the Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu) in Japan. It runs between Nagasaki and Takeo-Onsen, where it connects with the Relay Kamome service, which continues between Takeo-Onsen and Hakata via the Kagoshima, Nagasaki and Sasebo lines.

Prior to 23 September 2022, Kamome trains operated the full route between Nagasaki and Hakata. On that date, the name was transferred to the new Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen service, and the remaining limited express services between Takeo-Onsen and Hakata were renamed Relay Kamome.
