Raymond Richard Campbell (born July 17, 1935) is a former American football linebacker who played professionally in the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the tenth round of the 1958 NFL draft and played three seasons with the team.[1]

Campbell was part of a big five-player July 1961 trade with the Baltimore Colts sending wide receiver Jimmy Orr to the Colts and bringing veteran linemen Gene "Big Daddy" Lipscomb and Buzz Nutter to the Steelers. However, he failed to make the Colts roster in 1961.[2]
