Cameron Wesley Janssen (born April 15, 1984) is an American professional ice hockey player who retired from playing for the Nottingham Panthers of the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) on 12 August 2016. The Devils drafted him 117th overall in the fourth round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. Janssen was regarded as an enforcer.

Janssen grew up in the St. Louis suburb of Eureka, Missouri, where he attended Eureka High School for three years. During his sophomore and junior years of high school, Janssen played for the St. Louis Sting of the Junior A North American Hockey League.

In 2001, Janssen was selected in the third round of the Ontario Hockey League draft by the Windsor Spitfires. Instead of completing his senior year at Eureka High School, Janssen moved to Windsor, Ontario to begin his first season with the Spitfires. After one season in Ontario, Janssen was drafted by the New Jersey Devils as the 117th overall pick during the fourth round 2002 NHL Entry Draft. During the 2003–04 OHL season, Janssen joined the Guelph Storm, where he participated in the Memorial Cup tournament.

In his rookie NHL season, Janssen led the Devils with eleven fighting majors. On February 24, 2007, he scored his first career NHL goal against the Washington Capitals at 10:33 in the second period in his 82nd NHL game.
