Sterling Campbell (born March 16, 1942 in Toronto, Ontario) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Liberal from 1987 to 1990.

Campbell was educated at the University of California, Wayne State University and Central Michigan University. He worked as a teacher in the field of video media.

Campbell was an alderman in Sudbury and a member of the Regional Municipality of Sudbury council from 1976 to 1987. He was vice-chair of the Sudbury Regional Health and Social Services Committee from 1976 to 1980, and chair of the Regional Welfare Board from 1982 to 1987.

He was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1987 election, defeating incumbent Progressive Conservative James K. Gordon by 2,630 votes in the constituency of Sudbury. He served as a backbench supporter of David Peterson's government for the next three years. From 1987 to 1988, he served as parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Mines.

The Liberals were unexpectedly defeated by the Ontario New Democratic Party in the 1990 provincial election, and Campbell lost his seat to NDP candidate Sharon Murdock by 3,397 votes.

He returned to his teaching position in Sudbury after 1990. In 1997, Campbell joined the Ontario College Council representing the Northern Ontario secondary school sector. He had previously finished second in council elections, and joined the council after the resignation of Michel Gravelle. He retired in 1999, and moved to Campbell River, British Columbia.

Campbell was awarded the 2002 Norm Snyder Award by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation.
