Donna Campbell (born 1959) is a New Zealand Māori university teacher, curator, weaver and textile artist. She affiliates with Ngāpuhi and Ngāti Ruanui iwi. Her works are held in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and in the British Museum. In 2019 Campbell completed a PhD at the University of Waikato with a thesis titled Ngā kura a Hineteiwaiwa: The embodiment of Mana Wahine in Māori fibre Arts.

The British Museum holds a kete whakairo made by Campbell in 1993. It is made of plaited flax strips 3–5 mm wide, dyed red and black, in a vertical twill pattern, with braided handles of black-dyed muka.

Along with showing her work in numerous exhibitions, Campbell has also curated exhibitions of weaving and textile artworks. She is currently an associate professor at the University of Waikato. She is the co-leader (along with Dr Catherine Smith and Rānui Ngārimu) of a team undertaking a kaupapa Māori research project, funded by a Marsden grant. The team (which includes Jeanette Wikaira and Hokimate Harwood) are researching Te Rā, the last known Māori sail. The sail is currently held at the British Museum.
