nihongo|Kamome|かもめ is a limited express train operated by JR Kyushu in Japan. It operates between Hakata and Nagasaki on the Kagoshima Main Line and the Nagasaki Main Line. "Kamome" means seagull in Japanese.

The service in its current form commenced in 1976, but the name Nihongo|"Kamome"|鴎 was first used in 1937 on limited-express trains operating between Tokyo and Kobe. This service continued until 1943.

The name Nihongo|"Kamome"|かもめ was subsequently revived from 1953 for use on limited-express services operating between Kyoto and Hakata (and later to Nagasaki). This service was discontinued in 1975 with the completion of the Sanyō Shinkansen to Hakata.
