The Campament dels Soldats ('soldiers' camp') was one of a total of 104 labor camps of the time of Francoism in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. It was close to the town of Artà on the Balearic island of Mallorca. The ruins of the camp buildings are now in a natural park, the Parc natural de la península de Llevant in the northeast of the island.
Between 1941 and 1943, about 750 forced laborers were housed in the Campament dels Soldats. These were mainly former soldiers of the republican army in the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939.
