Camargo is a home rule-class city in Montgomery County, Kentucky, in the United States. The population was 1,081 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Mount Sterling Micropolitan Statistical Area.

The town was named by soldiers returning from the Mexican–American War, either in honor of Camargo in Mexico or a Mexican entertainer of that name. The post office was established in 1848 and closed in 1963.[1]
