Kamatero, (Greek, Modern: Καματερό, Ancient/Katharevousa: -on), older forms Kamateron, is a suburb in the southwestern part of Athens, Greece. It is located S of Athinon Avenue, about 6 km W of Athens, N of Poseidonos Avenue and NE of Piraeus. The main streets are Fylis Avenue and Kifissou Avenue which is now a superhighway which is also GR-1/E75 for northbound and GR-89 for the southbound lanes. Also Thivon Avenue runs to the west. The railway line of OSE runs in the eastern part.

The area was made up of farmlands and some forests dominated the northern part of the area. The forests used to dominate the rest of the land but the remaining forests are in the squares. In the mid-2oth century, urban development and industrial buildings replaced much of the farmlands. Today, about two-thirds of the land are residential areas. The remaining empty space today is in the west at the Aigaleo range where is made up of rocks and bushes.

The area is mainly made up of urban areas to the west and the industrial area to the north and the east awas from the Cephissus. A park area with forests lie to the north.

Kamatero has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, a train station, a sports centre, cinemas, post offices and squares (plateies).

The earthquake of September 7, 1999 damaged some homes but were in the hundreds or thousands range.

In October 10, 2003, a fire consumed much of the factory at 18:34 (UTC), 21:34 (EEDT/Eastern Europe and Eastern Africa Time Zone). The fire was major.
