Carmen Camacho (born 1939, in Catanduanes, Luzon, Philippines) was one of the Philippine Kundiman Divas of the 1960s along with Norma Ledesma, Norma Balagtas, Pilita Corrales, and others.

Camacho was a member of the Mabuhay Singers in the 1950s.[1] She recorded her first album in the early 1960s, and recorded most of her songs with Villar Records. Camacho continued performing into the 2010s, at which time the Philippine Daily Inquirer called her "the country's top kundiman diva".[2]
