Evert "Eef" Kamerbeek (17 March 1934 – 26 August 2008) was one of the best Dutch decathletes of all time. Between 1954 and 1964, he won 11 national decathlon titles, as well as seven titles in the 110 m hurdles and four titles in the 200 m hurdles, discus throw and javelin throw; he also occasionally competed in weight lifting. He missed the 1956 Summer Olympics due to their boycott by the Netherlands; at the 1960 Summer Olympics he finished fifth, while he failed to reach the final at the 1964 Games due to a back injury. At European championships, Kamerbeek finished in sixth and fourth place in 1958 and 1962, respectively.
