David Ian Campese, AM (born 21 October 1962), also known as Campo, is a former Australian rugby union player. Campese was capped by the Wallabies 101 times, and held the world record for the most tries in test matches (64) until Daisuke Ohata scored his 65th try playing for Japan on 14 May 2006.

Campese made his debut for the Wallabies on the 1982 Australia rugby union tour of New Zealand. In 1983, he equaled the then record for most tries in a Test match for Australia against the USA, scoring four tries (that record was set by Greg Cornelsen in a famous victory over the NZ All Blacks in 1978). Campese was a member of the Eighth Wallabies for the 1984 Australia rugby union tour of Britain and Ireland that won rugby's "grand slam", the first Australian side to defeat all four home sides, England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland, on a tour. Campese was a member of the Wallabies on the 1986 Australia rugby union tour of New Zealand that beat the All Blacks 2-1, only the fifth international and second Australian team to win a Test series in New Zealand. During the 1987 Rugby World Cup semi-final against France, Campese broke the then world record for most tries scored by an international rugby player. In 1988 Campese received a standing ovation from the crowd and applause from his teammates after scoring a try for Australia against the Barbarians at Cardiff Arms Park. In October/November 1991 Campese was acclaimed the Player of the 1991 Rugby World Cup, scoring six tries in as many matches for the victorious Wallabies.
