Eduardo Oscar Camaño (born June 17, 1946) is an Argentine Justicialist Party politician. He was interim president of the country for two days between December 31, 2001 and January 1, 2002.

He became interim president because of the resignations of interim President Adolfo Rodríguez Saá and Senate president Ramón Puerta. Camaño is a deputy and has been the leader of the lower house of the Argentine Congress since 2001.

Camaño sits in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies for Buenos Aires Province. He sits in the Federal Peronist block allied to Eduardo Duhalde, largely in opposition to President Néstor Kirchner. He chairs the national council of the Justicialist Party, making him de facto party leader, alongside supporters of both Duhalde and Kirchner.
