Camilo Antonio Ortega Saavedra (December 13, 1950 – February 26, 1978) was a Nicaraguan revolutionary with the Sandinista National Liberation Front who was killed in the struggle to overthrow the Somoza regime.
His father, Daniel Ortega and his mother Lidia Saavedra, were both leftists opposed to the Somoza family regime.
He remained there, becoming the chief emissary of the FSLN to Cuba and only returned to Nicaragua in 1975.

Ortega died in the battle along with several others including Moisés Rivera and Arnoldo Kuant.
