Julia Campbell (January 25, 1967 – April 8, 2007) was an American journalist. She disappeared on April 8, 2007, while working as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines and discovered on April 18 in a shallow grave where she had been buried after being murdered.[1]

The Philippine House of Representatives awarded her with its "Congressional Medal of Achievement" in June 2007.[2] Later, an eco-park in the Philippines was established as a memorial.[3]
