Norman Adrian Wiggins (February 6, 1924 – August 1, 2007) was the 3rd president of Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina.

Born in Burlington, North Carolina, Dr. Wiggins served with the Marines during World War II. Afterward, he received his Associate of Arts degree at Campbell Jr. College, Bachelor of Arts (magna cum laude) from Wake Forest College, the Bachelor of Laws (cum laude) from Wake Forest College School of Law, and the Master of Law and Doctor of the Science of Law from Columbia Law School. He became president of what was then known as Campbell College in 1967 and remained in the position until 2003, when he retired at 79 and was named chancellor. He established five professional schools during his tenure and led Campbell's transformation to a university in 1979. Campbell now enrolls roughly 10,000 students, making it one of the largest Baptist universities in the country.

Wiggins died in a Winston-Salem hospital of complications from lymphoma. He had taken a short leave as university president in 2001 after being diagnosed with that form of cancer. He is survived by Millie Wiggins, his wife of more than 50 years.
