Attock Cantonment (Urdu: اٹک اردوگاه) is a cantonment adjacent to Attock in Punjab province, Pakistan.

According to the official newspaper of India, Attock Cantonment was named after the adjacent village Kamal Pur. However, at that time, it was called Cambellpure. It is a misconception that it is named after Sir Colin Campbell. The Attock Cantonment features numerous community services and landmarks such as schools, colleges, shopping malls, hospitals, residential areas, as well as a specialized Center for the Pakistan Army.
