João da Câmara Leme (Beira, 1930 – Lisbon, 3 June 1983) was a Portuguese illustrator and graphic designer. He is known for his book cover designs, and in particular for those produced during his long association with the Portugália book publisher.[1][2]

Câmara Leme moved to Portugal in the 1950s.[3] He designed hundreds of book covers for Portugália during the 1960s and 70s. He also illustrated many children literature books with his unique style, including the collections Biblioteca dos Rapazes, Juvenil, and Os pequenos pioneiros, all also for Portugália.[2]
