Camille Rouhana Cordahi (Arabic: كميل روحانا قرداحي; 11 September 1919 – 11 May 2011) was a Lebanese footballer who played as a forward. He is the Lebanon national team's first official goalscorer, scoring his side's lone goal in a friendly game against Mandatory Palestine in 1940.
Cordahi began his senior club career in 1935 at DPHB, winning three Lebanese Premier League titles. In 1942 Cordahi played one season at Racing Beirut, before joining Sagesse in 1943, which he helped form. He remained at the club until his retirement in 1950.
Known as "the Golden Foot" (Arabic: القدم الذهبية), Cordahi represented Beirut XI unofficially as their captain between 1937 and 1950; his first official cap for Lebanon was the 1940 friendly against Mandatory Palestine, Lebanon's first official game, in which he scored.
Following his retirement as a player, Cordahi assumed various managerial roles at his former clubs Sagesse and Racing Beirut, and was the treasurer of the Lebanese Football Association in 1979. He was also the first mayor of his hometown Faitroun, and was awarded the Lebanese Medal of Merit in 1974.
