Jessica Evelyn "Jess" Cameron (born 27 June 1989) is an Australian cricketer and Australian rules footballer. A batsman, she is a current member of the Victorian Spirit, the Australian women's cricket team and the Melbourne Stars.

Cameron made her debut for Victoria in the 2006–07 Women's National Cricket League. She played in all 11 matches but was placed low in the batting order and did not have much time at the crease, scoring 92 runs at 18.40 and taking three wickets. At the end of the season she was selected in the Australia Youth team to play New Zealand A, and took 6/28 in one match, ending the series with nine wickets at 9.77.

The following WNCL season, Cameron made only 35 runs in her first four matches and was dropped for the remainder of the competition, although she was selected in the Australian Under-21 team to play against England and Australia.

The 2008–09 season started with a similar series, this time against Australia and India, and Cameron scored consecutive half-centuries and totalled 157 runs at 78.50. Cameron scored 206 runs at 22.88 in the WNCL season and won a call-up to the national team. She made her debut in the Rose Bowl series and after failing to capitalise on her starts in the first three matches, was dropped. Cameron was selected in six of Australia's seven matches for the 2009 World Cup, scoring 81 runs at 16.20 as the hosts placed fourth. She also played in the World Twenty20 in England but was dropped after the first match. She played in three of the five subsequent ODIs against England but failed to pass single figures.

Cameron made 236 runs at 26.22 in the 2009–10 WNCL to retain her position in the national squad for the Rose Bowl series, forcing her way into the team mid-way through the series. In the last three ODIs she played as makeshift wicket-keeper after Alyssa Healy was left out, and made her maiden ODI half-century, 68, in the first of these three matches.
