Samuel James Campbell (June 18, 1892 in Mount Carroll – September 3, 1981 in Tucson)[2] was a prominent banker, businessman and civic leader in Mount Carroll, Illinois, in the first half of the 20th century.[3] He operated several farms that raised Angus cattle and owned the Kable News Company of Mount Morris, Illinois, a national distributor of magazines.[4] He headed the boards of trustees of Shimer College for more than 20 years, and was also chairman of the board at Beloit College.

Campbell's Mount Carroll residence, built in 1925 when he was the vice president of the Carroll County State Bank, is now part of the Mount Carroll Historic District.[5] It was designed by architect Carroll A. Klein.[5]
