The Camitz family is a Swedish family, founded as an Austrian Silesian noble family,[1] important to the industrial history of the broader Karlskoga–Degerfors-area. Where they managed ironworks.

A member of the Camitz family, ironmaster Georg Camitz, established the Degerfors Works in the 17th century,[2][3][4] and managed both the Bofors and the Björkborn Works.[1] In addition, he served as the mayor of Kristinehamn.[2] Other members include Johan Camitz the Younger, who in the 18th century served as the first ironmaster to the Degernäs Works.[5]
