Ben Camara (born August 20, 1984) is an English footballer who currently plays as a forward for Torrington.

Ben Camara joined Torquay United's Centre of Excellence whilst at school in Tavistock. He signed as a trainee on the 1st of July 2001 and made his league debut on the 15th of March 2003, coming on a substitute in a 1-1 draw at home to Scunthorpe United. He made a further substitute appearance on the 3rd of May 2003, in a 1-1 away to Lincoln City and was awarded a professional contract that summer (along with fellow trainees Kain Bond, Lucas Burgess, Graham Killoughery and Steven Orchard). However, he was released by Torquay manager Leroy Rosenior in January 2004 without adding to his first team appearances and joined Stevenage Borough. He made just one appearance, as a substitute, for Boro (on February 14, 2004 away to Leigh RMI).

Camara joined Taunton Town in the summer of 2004, moving to Clevedon Town in January 2005. He returned to Taunton in July 2005, but moved to Torrington in December 2005, playing under former Torquay defender Robbie Herrera and alongside former Torquay colleagues Dean Stevens and Nick Skinner.
