Florence Camm (1874 – 1960) was an English stained glass designer, painter and decorative metalworker.[1]

Camm was the daughter of T. W. Camm, who had established his own firm of stained glass designers in Smethwick in 1865.[2] She studied intermittently at the Birmingham School of Art between 1892 and 1912, where she was a pupil under Henry Payne.[3] She exhibited 43 times at the Royal Academy.[1]

Examples of Camm's work such as the enamel casket she designed in the late 1890s for Birmingham Post editor John Thackray Bunce are masterpieces of national importance.[4] She produced most of the artwork for her father's company after his death in 1912.[2]
