Henry Colville Montgomery Campbell KCVO MC PC (11 October 1887 – 26 December 1970) was a Church of England bishop. He was ordained in 1910 and served as vicar or rector in a number of London parishes before being consecrated as a bishop in 1940, holding, successively, the suffragan bishoprics of Willesden and Kensington and the diocesan bishoprics of Guildford and London until his retirement in 1961.
Montgomery Campbell was the son of the Rev Sydney Montgomery Campbell, who was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1885 and became vicar of St John's, Hammersmith, and later of Midhurst and Banstead. The son was educated at Malvern College and Brasenose College, Oxford. After studying at Wells Theological College he was ordained deacon in December 1910 and priest in 1911. His first appointment was a curacy at Alverstoke. In`1916 he married Joyce Mary, daughter of the Rev Norman Thicknesse, rector of St George's Hanover Square. After distinguished wartime service in which he received the Military Cross for bravery at Gallipoli, he served as vicar of West Hackney (1919–26) and Hornsey (1926–33). In the latter post he ran a centre for the unemployed in a building made available to him by the government. From 1929 to 1933 he also held the post of Rural Dean of Hornsey. In 1933, on Thicknesse's retirement, Montgomery Campbell was appointed to succeed him at St George's.
