Camley Street is a street in the London Borough of Camden in London, England. It lies in St Pancras and King's Cross: stretching over a kilometre from St Pancras railway station in the south, over the Regent's Canal, and to Agar Grove in the north.

Camley Street is the location of Camley Street Natural Park, a local nature reserve. Adjacent to the natural park is St Pancras Basin, home to the St Pancras Cruising Club.
