John Henry Campbell (September 19, 1868 – June 10, 1928) was an American jurist who served as an Associate Justice on the Arizona Territorial Supreme Court from 1905 till 1912. Beginning his legal career overseeing pardon applications for the United States Department of Justice, he moved to Arizona Territory in 1901 and became an Assistant United States Attorney the next year. Campbell was appointed to the territorial bench in 1905 and served until Arizona gained statehood.
Campbell was born on September 19, 1869, in Tuscola, Illinois to William J. and Milla (Smith) Campbell. He attended public schools before graduation from Columbian University (now George Washington University) with a Bachelor of Laws in 1891 and a Master of Laws in 1892. While in college he worked for the United States Treasury Department. Campbell was admitted to the D.C. bar in 1892. Two years later, he joined the United States Department of Justice where he oversaw pardon processing. Campbell married Estelle Freet of Washington D.C. on April 15, 1890. The union produced three children: William, Helen, and Ruth.
Moving to Arizona Territory in 1901, Campbell formed a partnership with Roscoe Dale based in Tucson. The next year he became an Assistant United States Attorney in Nogales. Campbell was a member of the Knights of Pythias and served as Grand Chancellor of Arizona.
