Cameron Chisholm & Nicol (CCN) is an Australian architecture firm with offices in Perth and Brisbane. Established in Perth in 1884 by James William Wright, the firm has operated continuously in Western Australia since then, and opened its Brisbane offices in 1986. The two offices operate collectively under the title CCN Group. In 2015, Cameron Chisholm Nicol has a staff of about 40 people.

In 1884, James William Wright opened a private architectural practice in Perth, Western Australia, which was the only one in the colony at the time. He had arrived in the colony three years earlier, from South Australia, and had completed government contracts for engineering projects in both colonies. The first commission for the new firm, known as J. W. Wright & Co., was Woodbridge House, which Charles Harper had built on the Swan River near Guildford. It designed a wide range of buildings over the following decades, including office buildings, hotels, banks, grandstands, and the York Town Hall. In 1906, Wright accepted two of his former apprentices as partners, and the firm became known as Wright, Powell & Cameron. Wright's name was dropped after his death in 1917, and the company was known as just Powell & Cameron until 1930, when Oswald Chisholm became a partner and the firm's name was changed to Powell, Cameron & Chisholm.

In the 1950s, Oswald Chisholm’s son Ross began work in the practice, working with Gil Nicol. Ross Chisholm became a partner in the practice in 1958.

In 1986, managing director Henry Peel established an office in Brisbane operating under the name CCN Group (QLD) Pty Ltd. Designs for which it has been commissioned include The Australian Chancery and Ambassadors residence in Brasilia. The company's architects acted as key consultants to the Urban Development Authority in Malaysia. CCN Group has designed projects internationally in China, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Iran, Jakarta, Japan, Malaysia and Yemen.
