Kamakya (Dewanagari: कामाख्या; ,IAST: Kāmākhyā, कामाख्या) adalah dewi ibu dalam aliran Tantra Sakta agama Hindu. Dia dianggap sebagai perwujudan kama (keinginan atau hasrat), sehingga dia dianggap sebagai dewi hasrat.[1] Tempat tinggalnya (Kuil Kamakhya) terletak di wilayah Kamarupa di Assam, India.[2][3]

Awalnya dia merupakan sesembahan suku Kirata, dengan pusat pemujaan di kuil bukit Nilachal di seberang tepi Sungai Brahmaputra, sebelah barat Guwahati yang dibangun pada abad ke-10 atau ke-11, dan dipugar kembali pada tahun 1565 M.[4] Dia disembah dalam wujud batu non-antropomorfik (tidak menyerupai manusia) yang berbentuk seperti yoni dan dialiri oleh sungai abadi.[5] Kuil ini adalah kuil utama di antara 51 tempat suci aliran Sakta, dan merupakan salah satu kuil Sakta yang paling penting.[2]
