Isla Cameron (1927 - 1980) was a Scottish singer and actress. She was, for much of the 1950s, a singing partner of Ewan MacColl. In her time she was one of Britain's most popular woman folk singers, performing regularly in clubs throughout the British Isles.

Isla Cameron was born in Scotland but was brought up in Dorset and Somer
