Kameiros (Greek: Δήμος Καμείρου) is a former municipality on the island of Rhodes, in the Dodecanese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it has been part of the municipality of Rhodes, of which it is a municipal unit.[2] The municipal unit lies on the northwest coast of Rhodes, stretching inland into the north-central part of the island.

The seat of the municipality was in Soroni (pop. 1,236). Other large towns are Apóllona (997), Fanes (895), Salakos (597), and Kalavárda (512). It did not include the small port of Kameiros Skala, which was in Attavyros municipality (now municipal unit).

The municipality was named after the ancient city of Kameiros, which lies just west of Kalavarda.
