'''CustomisedCustomized Applications for Mobile networks Enhanced Logic''', or CAMEL ([[ETSI]] TS 123 078) for short, is a set of standards designed to work on either a [[Network Switching Subsystem|GSM core network]] or [[Universal Mobile Telecommunications System| UMTS]] network. They allow an operator to define services over and above standard [[GSM services]]/UMTS services. The CAMEL architecture is based on the [[Intelligent Network]] (IN) standards, and uses the [[CAMEL Application Part|CAP]] protocol.

<!-- The use of "Customised" in this article is not a spelling mistake—it is the spelling used by 3GPP in their technical recommendations for CAMEL (en-GB spelling). -->

Many services can be created using CAMEL, and it is particularly effective in allowing these services to be offered when a subscriber is [[roaming]], like, for instance, no-prefix dialing (the number the user dials is the same no matter the country where the call is placed) or seamless [[Multimedia Messaging Service|MMS]] message access from abroad.
