Kate Campbell (born October 31, 1961 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American folk singer/songwriter. Her songwriting is strongly influenced by her southern roots and authors in the literary world, as on her most recent album, "Save the Day". John Prine, Nanci Griffith and Mac McAnally provided guest vocals on the album. In addition to her Americana/Folk flavored albums, her catalog includes the all-acoustic "Sing Me Out"; "Twang on a Wire", which featured covers of songs made famous by female country artists of the 1960s and '70s; and two gospel CDs ("Wandering Strange" and "For the Living of These Days") recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals with Spooner Oldham on keyboards.

Campbell sometimes performs with Pierce Pettis and Tom Kimmel as the New Agrarians.
