Donald Cameron of Lochiel, JP, DL, FRGS (5 April 1835 – 30 November 1905) was a British Conservative politician and diplomat.

[1] Lochaber joyously celebrated the birth of Lochiel's heir during the spring of 1835, with commemorative dinners held by Camerons 'from Ballachulish Ferry to the Marches of Knoydart', as well as the lighting of bonfires on Ben Nevis.

[2] He was then at the British embassy in Berlin, where he met with Otto von Bismarck, and was also a paid Attaché at Bern, Copenhagen and Stockholm.

[7] In 1875, Lochiel married Lady Margaret Montagu Douglas Scott, the second daughter of Walter Montagu Douglas Scott, 5th Duke of Buccleuch, by his wife Lady Charlotte Thynne, the daughter of Thomas Thynne, 2nd Marquess of Bath.
