Greenwater - formerly, Ramsey, The Camp, and Kunze - was an unincorporated community near Death Valley in eastern Inyo County, California. It is now a deserted ghost town.

Greenwater is located 5.5 miles (8.9 km) north of Funeral Peak in the Funeral Mountains above southeastern Death Valley. It is now located within Death Valley National Park, north of Smith Mountain, and south of the Rand, California mining district ruins.

Greenwater was a mining town in the Mojave Desert that saw its rise and fall within the first decade of the 20th century. The original townsite, 2 miles (3.2 km) west of the current site and called Kunze after its founder Arthur Kunze, was abandoned in favor of the current site, which was originally called Ramsey. A post office operated at Greenwater from 1906 to 1908.
