Cameron Solomon Talbot (born July 5, 1987) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Talbot grew up in Caledonia, Ontario and started playing with the Caledonia Thunder MHA programs before making the leap to the Hamilton Jr. Bulldogs of the South Central AAA League in Minor Bantam. He played three seasons of AAA hockey, was undrafted in the 2003 OHL Priority Selection and returned to the Jr. Bulldogs where he played a season of Major Midget.

After a solid Major Midget season, Talbot made the OJHL Hamilton Red Wings in the 2004-05 season.

Talbot played college hockey at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. In the 2009–10 season, he was named to the All-College Hockey America Second Team and was named Most Valuable Player in the CHA Tournament, while leading the Chargers to a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

On March 30, 2010, the NHL's New York Rangers signed Talbot as a free agent. He was promoted to the Rangers on February 28, 2011, after playing the majority of the 2010–11 season with the Connecticut Whale of the American Hockey League (AHL) (he also played two ECHL games with the Greenville Road Warriors) and was returned to the Whale on March 3, 2011.
