ICAM was an Australian television series broadcast on SBS between 1995 and 2002, dedicated to issues concerning Indigenous communities. It holds the distinction of being SBS's inaugural Indigenous affairs program and was the sole nationally televised Indigenous affairs show during prime time throughout its duration.

The show aired weekly and was primarily presented by Karla Grant, except for the period in 1997 and 1998 when Rachael Maza took over hosting duties as the program shifted to a Sunday evening timeslot.

In 2001, production efforts were reduced, leading Karla Grant to create Living Black, which succeeded ICAM. During its concluding year, ICAM earned a Walkley Award for Coverage of Indigenous Affairs, recognizing journalist Julie Nimmo's report titled "No Fixed Address".
