The Electoral district of County of Camden was an electorate of the partially elected[1] New South Wales Legislative Council before the original Council was abolished in 1856.

The 1851 Electoral Act increased the number of members in the Council from 36[1] to 54, 18 to be appointed and 36 elected.[2] From this time the district was split into two divisions each returning one member; the Eastern division of the County of Camden and the Western division of the County of Camden.[2]
