Hardy Campbell, Jr. (c.1863 – June 24, 1898) was an American Thoroughbred horse racing trainer and Standardbred horse owner.
Hardy Campbell, Sr. was involved in horse racing, and Hardy Jr. spent his life around and in the business. He became head stable lad for Dwyer Brothers Stable in Brooklyn, New York, one of the top racing operations in the United States. While working for the Dwyer stable, Hardy Campbell, Jr. learned racehorse conditioning from future Hall of Fame trainers James G. Rowe, Sr. and Frank McCabe. The Dwyer brothers racing partnership was dissolved in 1890 and Mike Dwyer offered Hardy Campbell, Jr. the job of head trainer for his stable and for the next seven years the two met with considerable success.
