Cameron Keith Maybin (born April 4, 1987) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has also played in MLB for the Detroit Tigers, Florida Marlins, San Diego Padres, and Atlanta Braves. He was the tenth overall pick in the 2005 MLB draft by the Tigers, and debuted with them in 2007.

Maybin played high school baseball for T.C. Roberson High School in Asheville, North Carolina. As a freshman, he led his team to a state title and was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Joe Hayden, his manager with the Midland Redskins, said he had "the same instincts in the outfield and at the plate" as Ken Griffey, Jr., who Hayden also coached in the Connie Mack Division, an amateur baseball league for players 18 and younger. The summer before his senior season, Maybin won the Connie Mack batting title and the 2004 Connie Mack World Series MVP award. Maybin was also named the 2004 Baseball America Youth Player of the Year.

After graduating from high school, Maybin awaited the Major League draft. In their pre-draft rankings, Baseball America tabbed him as the most promising available outfielder and the third-best hitting prospect overall. He fell to the Tigers in tenth spot in the 2005 draft, in part due to speculation he'd be difficult to sign. He signed in September for a $2.65 million bonus.
