Hugh John Munro Campbell (c. 1854 – 20 October 1921) was an Australian politician.

Campbell was born in Melbourne to merchant William Munro Campbell and Christina Matheson.[1] He grew up in Portland from the age of eight, and was an apprentice grocer before entering the family business. On 21 January 1880 he married Harriett Jarrett,[1] with whom he had three children; he would later remarry on 9 June 1920, to Ethel May Waddell.[1] In May 1906 he won a by-election for the Victorian Legislative Assembly seat of Glenelg.[2] A Liberal, he was a minister without portfolio in the Nationalist government from 1918 to 1920. He lost his seat to a Labor candidate in 1920 and was unsuccessful in attempting to regain it in 1921.[1] Campbell died at St Kilda on 20 October 1921.[2]
