Eddie C. Campbell (b. May 6, 1939, Duncan, Mississippi) is an American blues guitarist and singer active on the Chicago blues scene.

Campbell moved to Chicago when he was ten years old, and by age 12 had already jammed with Muddy Waters. In his early years as a professional musician, Campbell played as a sideman with Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Little Johnny Taylor, and Jimmy Reed. In 1976, Willie Dixon hired him to play in the Chicago Blues All-Stars. His debut album was released the following year.

In 1984, Campbell left Chicago for Europe, settling initially in the Netherlands. He worked there for a decade before returning to Chicago in the 1990s.
