Cameron James Coventry (born 25 February 1991) is a historian and postdoctoral research associate at Federation University Australia. In a 2021 article he unveiled the political and diplomatic history of former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke's secret involvement with the United States of America during the 1970s. Another journal work, Links in the Chain, was published in 2019. It marked the first attempt by a historian to comprehensively assess the extent of Australian financial benefit from British slavery.
