John Archibald "Jack" Cameron (December 3, 1900 – November 29, 1981) was a Canadian goaltender who was a member of the Toronto Granites team that won the 1923 Allan Cup and later claimed the gold medal for Canada in 1924 Winter Olympics.
The Canadian team was dominant at the Olympic tournament, outscoring its opponents 110-3. Cameron thus saw very little activity in front of his goal in the three games he played in. One of his teammates later recounted that Cameron would get bored during the games and that he would often leave his net to flirt with ladies in the stands. Cameron denied this.
He retired from playing senior hockey in 1930 and became a referee, working games as high up as the National Hockey League.
