Peter Campbell (born late 1850s in Dunbartonshire; died January 1883) was a Scottish footballer and one of the founding members of Rangers Football Club.

Along with fellow founding members Peter and Moses McNeil, William McBeath and Tom Vallance, Campbell played in Rangers' first ever match against "Callender F.C." at "Flesher's Haugh", Glasgow Green in 1872. He continued to play for Rangers until 1879, helping the club to the Scottish Cup finals of 1877 and 1879. After his career at Rangers, he played briefly for English club Blackburn Rovers for the 1879-80 season before retiring from football to become a seaman.

He also represented the Scotland national team, playing twice against Wales in 1878 and in 1879, scoring in both.

He died from drowning in 1883 after his ship "St Columba" sank in the Bay of Biscay in 1883.
