Campbell Brown (born 28 August 1983) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Hawthorn Football Club and the Gold Coast Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) and the current captain of the Australian national Kabaddi team. He is leading the side at the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup (Standard style). He was a member of Hawthorn's 2008 AFL Grand Final premiership winning team, but his career was abruptly ended when he was fired for an off field incident with a Gold Coast teammate during the 2014 pre-season.

Brown is the son of Australian rules football player and 2004 West Australian Football League Hall of Fame inductee Mal Brown, and attended Scotch College, Melbourne and Deakin University where he studied Sports Management.

Brown wore the number 30 guernsey and became noted for his overall aggression and toughness. He debuted for the Hawks in 2002, and received a nomination for the Rising Star award.

Brown was in the squad for the Australian international rules football team which competed in the International Rules Series in 2006.

In 2007, Brown held down the centre half back position for Hawthorn, a position usually held by a taller man; Brown being only 179cm. He was awarded a place in the All-Australian team for his efforts. The same year, Brown was fined $15,000 for giving misleading information to the AFL Tribunal about a misconduct charge involving West Coast's Chris Judd. Vision appeared to show Judd's hand on Brown's face with fingers around Brown's eyes. Brown's evidence at the Tribunal led to the charge against Judd being dropped.
