Cameron Cloke (born December 20, 1984) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League who plays for the Carlton, and is the son of former Richmond and Collingwood champion David Cloke.
A big man, Cameron was drafted under the father-son rule in the 2002 National Draft. Like his older brother Jason, he was given time to develop at Williamstown in his first year at the Magpies. Cameron made his debut against Essendon in 2004, and played mostly as a tall forward. He played most of the first half in 2005 as a ruckman and used his size well, however, his season was ruined by shoulder injury. More shoulder injuries occurred for Cloke in 2006, and he only managed two senior games for the year.
Both Cameron and Jason were delisted by Collingwood at the end of the 2006 season. Cameron, however, was given a second chance at AFL level when he was selected in the pre-season draft by the Carlton Football Club with their second round selection (9th pick overall). Cameron's Carlton career has enjoyed a great start and has seen him play a key role in the ruck during the Blues' successful 2007 NAB Cup campaign.
