"Camouflage" is a 1986 Stan Ridgway song from the album The Big Heat. Despite not charting in the United States, the song was a top 5 European hit, peaking at #2 in Ireland and #4 in the United Kingdom.

The song is sung from the viewpoint of a young P.F.C. (Private first class) of the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam war. On a search and destroy mission he is separated from his patrol. Alone in the jungle, he fears for his life when, unexpectedly, a "big marine" comes to his rescue introducing himself as "Camouflage". The two fight together through the course of a night making their way back to base, during which the PFC notices that Camouflage is unaffected by bullets and is capable of superhuman feats. Camouflage leaves after leading the PFC to the edge of his camp. On his return, the PFC is informed that Camouflage has been on his death bed for the past week and died the previous night, his last wish being "to save a young marine".

Swedish power metal band Sabaton covered the song on their 2016 album The Last Stand.
