John Ewen Cameron (20 March 1918 - 29 March 2002) was an Australian baritone singer, who made most of his career in Britain. He was born in Coolamon, New South Wales. He served in the the Second Australian Imperial Force during the Second World War, in the Middle East, and sang in troop concerts. On returning to Australia after the war he decided to pursue a professional career. Following early concert and operatic experience in Australia he moved to Britain in 1949, and later became known for his portrayal of characters in modern operas by composers from Australia, Britain and continental Europe, and for his recordings with conductors such as Sir Thomas Beecham, Sir Adrian Boult, the young Colin Davis, and particularly Sir Malcolm Sargent. From 1976 until the last months of his life Cameron was a teacher on the staff of the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.
