Tom Campbell (born 2 November 1991) is a professional Australian rules footballer currently playing for the St Kilda Football Club. Campbell previously played for the Western Bulldogs and North Melbourne Football Clubs in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was recruited by the club in the 2012 Rookie Draft, with pick #27. Campbell made his debut in Round 13, 2012, against Brisbane Lions at Docklands, having been promoted to the senior list to replace the suspended ruckman Will Minson.[1] After being delisted by the Bulldogs at the conclusion of the 2018 AFL season, Campbell joined North Melbourne as a rookie in the AFL's new supplemental selection period (SSP). On his debut for North Melbourne, senior coach Brad Scott described Campbell as a fierce competitor who gives his all for the team. Campbell reached his 50th AFL game during the 2021 season, where he was lauded by his teammates and coaches for his leadership and guidance while playing tandem in the ruck with Todd Goldstein.[2] Campbell was delisted by the Kangaroos in October 2021,[3] but signed with St Kilda as a delisted free agent the following month.[4]

Campbell is an advocate for greater action to combat climate change and outside football is involved in several climate change projects.[5] Along with Jasper Pittard, Campbell launched the AFL Players for Climate action initiative in 2021.[6]
