Randy Kamp, MP (born August 30, 1953) is a Canadian politician. He is the current Conservative Member of Parliament for the riding of Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission.

Born in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Kamp grew up in Maple Ridge, British Columbia and graduated from Maple Ridge Secondary School in 1971. He went on to complete a Bachelor's degree in theology at Simon Fraser University. He then studied linguistics at the graduate level. From 1985 to 1992, he and his family lived in the Philippines where he was regional director for an organization doing linguistic work among minority language groups. Kamp has also worked as a department store manager and administrative pastor and has served on the board of directors for a number of non-profit groups.

In 1997, Kamp was hired as the executive assistant to Grant McNally, the Member of Parliament for the Dewdney—Alouette riding from 1997 to 2004.

When McNally retired, Kamp decided to run for Parliament, and was elected as the Member of Parliament for Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission during the 2004 federal election. In his first term, Kamp was promoted to the position of Official Opposition Critic for Fisheries and Oceans on the Pacific Coast and was elected Chair of the Conservative Crystal Meth Task Force.

On January 23, 2006, Kamp was re-elected to the House of Commons. Shortly thereafter Prime Minister Stephen Harper appointed Kamp as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, Loyola Hearn. He is also currently a member on the Standing Committee for Fisheries and Oceans.

Kamp has been married to his wife Ruth for over thirty years, and they have three adult children and four grandchildren.
