David Lee "Dave" Camp (born July 9, 1953) is an American politician who has served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1991 to 2015. Camp represented Michigan's 4th congressional district since 1993, and previously served one term representing Michigan's 10th congressional district. A member of the Republican Party, Camp was chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, serving from 2011–2015. In March 2014, he announced that he would not run for re-election.

Camp was born in Midland, Michigan, the son of Norma L. (Nehil) and Robert D. Camp. He graduated from H.H. Dow High School in 1971. He attended the University of Sussex, Brighton, England, 1973–1974 and earned his Bachelor of Arts, magna cum laude, in 1975 from Albion College in Albion, Michigan. He earned a Juris Doctor from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1978.

From 1979 to 1991, he was a partner with the law firm Riecker, Van Dam & Barker Private Counsel in Midland, MI.

Camp was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins large B-cell lymphoma in 2012, in the early stages of growth. After several months of chemotherapy, Camp announced he was cancer-free in December 2012.

Camp worked as a member of the Midland County, Michigan board of canvassers and a member of the Midland County Republican executive committee. For 4 years he was special assistant to the Michigan attorney general from 1980 to 1984. He served another 4 years on the staff of his boyhood friend U.S. Representative Bill Schuette (R-MI) from 1984 to 1987, before running and winning Michigan's 102nd District of the Michigan House of Representatives in 1988 and serving one term.
