John Archibald Campbell (April 19, 1872November 26, 1963) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1907 to 1910, as a member of the Manitoba Liberal Party.

Campbell was born in Clinton, Ontario, and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba in the spring of 1881. He was educated at Manitoba College, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1900. He worked as a barrister, and was principal of schools in Boissevain for five years. In religion, Campbell was a Baptist.

He first campaigned for the Manitoba legislature in the 1903 provincial election, and lost to Conservative candidate John Gunne by 141 votes in Dauphin. He ran again in the 1907 election, and defeated new Conservative opponent James G. Harvey by 121 votes. The Conservative Party won the election, and Campbell served as an opposition member for the next three years.

Campbell was defeated in the 1910 election, losing to Harvey by 53 votes. He sought a return to the legislature in the 1914 election, but lost to Conservative candidate Joseph Hamelin by sixty votes in the neighbouring constituency of Ste. Rose.
