Cameron "Cam" James Coventry (born 25 February 1991) is a British-Australian historian and postdoctoral research associate at Federation University Australia. In 2021, he wrote a political and diplomatic history of former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke's secret involvement with the United States of America during the 1970s. In another work, Links in the Chain, he made the first attempt by a historian to comprehensively assess the extent of Australian financial benefit from British slavery.
