Cameron, Laing was a printing and publishing firm established in the 1870s by Donald Cameron. The firm had premises at 112 Flinders Lane East, Melbourne, Victoria.

Taking over a venture started by W. H. Williams, Cameron put together fictional material in Cameron's Literary Supplement, and sold it as a two-page weekly supplement to be inserted in other publications. The Supplement contained fiction largely reprinted from overseas sources, but also serialised novels by Donald Cameron and other Australian authors. Cameron, Laing published collections of Australian material derived from the Supplement, and from 1882 published the Melbourne Quarterly (later Journal), comprising the contents of the 13 preceding Supplements.

The business declined with the introduction of imported bulk ready-printed fiction supplements and stereo plates at the end of the 1880s.
