Jocelyn Ann Campbell is a politician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She represented the north-end division of Saint-Sulpice on Montreal city council from 2005 to 2013 and was a member of the Montreal executive committee from 2011 to 2012. Formerly a member of Union Montreal, Campbell became an independent councillor in late 2012. She did not run for re-election in the 2013 municipal election, and was succeeded by Pierre Desrochers.

Campbell was press secretary for the New Democratic Party of Quebec in the 1980s. Her innovative press release for the party's 1985 provincial election bus tour was noted in the media, and, in the same campaign, she articulated her party's opposition to privatizing state enterprises. She later worked as a press attaché at Montreal's city hall during Jean Doré's mayoral administration. After briefly standing down to work on Doré's successful 1990 re-election bid, she returned to a media relations position with the Montreal executive committee in the early 1990s.

After leaving city hall, Campbell was a spokesperson for the Alliance des professeures et professeurs de Montréal before becoming communications director for the Palais des congrès de Montréal from 1997 to 2005.

In 1994, Campbell co-authored an article that indicated male students were falling behind in high school and university achievement. A 2007 review described the piece as "prescient."

Campbell was elected to the Montreal city council in the 2005 municipal election, winning a narrow victory in Saint-Sulpice as a member of mayor Gérald Tremblay's Montreal Island Citizens Union (later renamed as Union Montreal). She was re-elected in an extremely close contest in the 2009 election.
