Kamel Fathi Ghilas (born 9 March 1984) is an Algerian professional footballer who plays as a forward.

Born in Marseille, France, Ghilas started his career in amateur football, with ES Vitrolles. At the age of 19 he joined AS Cannes in the Championnat National, quickly breaking into the first team and featuring mostly as a winger.

In the 2004–05 season Ghilas established himself as a starter, going on to lead the club in scoring by netting seven times in 31 appearances. The following year he contributed with 13 as the French Riviera side narrowly missed out on promotion to Ligue 2, finishing two points behind FC Libourne-Saint-Seurin for the third and final spot.

In the 2006 summer Ghilas signed for Vitória S.C. in Portugal, penning a two-year contract. In his first year he ranked first in goals scored in his team, helping to a return to the Primeira Liga after one year out.

Ghilas made his debut in the competition on 19 August 2007, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Vitória de Setúbal. He scored six times in a further 20 league appearances to help the club finish a best-ever third and qualify to the UEFA Champions League; however, following a contract dispute, he left the Minho Province side as a free agent.

On 12 July 2008 Celta de Vigo announced the signing of Ghilas from Vitória, with the player penning a three-year contract worth 300,000 a year. He scored his first goals for the Galicians on 28 September in a 2–1 home win over CD Tenerife, in what was the season's first win.
