John "Jock" Campbell was a British Army officer who served in North Africa at the beginning of World War II.

He favored rapid attacks against Axis forces using small groups of artillery, armored vehicles and motorized infantry: anecdotally called "Jock Columns".

During Operation Crusader, Campbell's brigade defended Sidi Rezegh airport, south of Tobruk, for two days. Campbell personally led the battle, constantly being at the epicenter of events and inspiring his subordinates with his courage. For his heroism he was awarded Britain's highest military decoration: the Victoria Cross.
