The Kamram Grotto, or Kam-Ram Grotto, was a secret society of Freemasons founded in 1922. The organization accepted members who were already members of Masonic lodges and provided an insurance policy of $2,000 in return for regular dues. The Grotto acted as a social and outreach arm of the Masonic order.

Birmingham's Kamram Grotto sponsored a Kamram Club for boys at the former All Saints Episcopal Mission parish house at 614 29th Street South (which had housed Holy Innocents Hospital from 1911 to 1914).

In 1927 the local Kamrams held a national conference of grottoes in Birmingham.

Notably, the order developed the Medical Arts Building and Pickwick Club at Five Points South in 1931.
