Jason Cameron (born 20 February 1974) is an Australian former professional basketball player who played nine seasons in the National Basketball League (NBL). The 200 cm small forward from Mackay also spent multiple years in the Queensland Basketball League and the South East Australian Basketball League where he won numerous awards during the 2000s.
Cameron first played in the National Basketball League during the 1991 season as a development player for the Brisbane Bullets. He received limited opportunities in his first season, as the Bullets failed to make the playoffs with a win/loss record of 13–13 and a ninth-place finish. In two games for Brisbane, he played a total of 155 seconds and recorded one rebound while missing both field goals he attempted.
After not being retained by the Bullets for the 1992 season, Cameron moved to Canberra where he joined the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and played for the program's basketball team in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA). In 1993, Cameron returned to the NBL as he joined the Townsville Suns for the club's inaugural season. His first full season in the NBL proved to be very effective as he provided the Suns with good minutes off the bench for the first half of the season before earning a starting spot alongside Ricky Jones and David Blades for the majority of the second half of the season. In 22 games, he averaged 5.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game as the Suns finished their first season with a dismal 4–22 win/loss record and a last place finish.
