Barry R. Campbell (born June 15, 1950) is a Canadian lawyer and former politician. He served in the House of Commons of Canada from 1993 to 1997 as a member of the Liberal Party of Canada.
Campbell was born in Montreal, Quebec. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from McGill University in 1971, a Bachelor of Laws from McGill Law School in 1975, and a Master of Laws from Harvard Law School in 1977. He was an articling student and Associate with McCarthy & McCarthy from 1971 to 1981, a legal counselor for the International Monetary Fund in Washington, D.C. in 1981-82, foreign consultant with Arnold & Porter in 1982-83, and associate and partner with McCarthy & McCarthy from 1983 to 1987. He served as president of Tricaster Management Inc. from 1987 to 1990, and was a special partner with Tory, Tory, DesLauriers & Binnington from 1990 to 1993. He is a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada, and has done work for the Canadian Jewish Congress. Campbell has also been active in supporting AIDS research and non-profit housing in Toronto (Financial Post, 27 October 1992).
Campbell was involved with the Liberal Party for many years before running for office himself, and volunteered for Pierre Elliott Trudeau's campaign in his youth (Financial Post, 1 January 1993). He was recruited by the party leadership in 1992, and won the Liberal nomination for St. Paul's late in the year (Financial Post, 31 December 1992). Many regarded him as a "future star" for the party (Financial Post, 23 June 1992), and there was some speculation even before the 1993 election that he could be given a cabinet position (Toronto Star, 23 October 1993).
