Camp Cropper Theater Internment Facility is a holding facility for security detainees operated by the United States Army near Baghdad International Airport in Iraq.

In late April 2007, the former commander of Camp Cropper, Lieutenant-Colonel William H. Steele was reported to be held in a military prison in Kuwait to await an Article 32 hearing. He is charged with various breaches of military law, including supplying an unmonitored cellphone to a detainee and inappropriate relationship with a detainee's daughter.
