Oscar Héctor Camilión (6 January 1930 – 12 February 2016) was an Argentine lawyer and diplomat.
Born in 1930, Camilión earned a law degree from the University of Buenos Aires.[1]

Following the 1976 coup d’état, he was appointed ambassador to Brazil by President Jorge Rafael Videla. Videla’s successor, Roberto Eduardo Viola, later named him foreign minister. After Viola was removed in another coup, Camilión served as a representative of the United Nations Secretary-General.[1]
