Emily Campbell (born 6 May 1994) is a British weightlifter, the most successful British weightlifter of modern times. She is a Commonwealth and five-time European champion, and a double World and Olympic medalist.

In 2021, competing in the +87 kg category, Campbell became both European champion, and the first British woman to win an Olympic medal in the sport, with silver at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. In 2022 she retained her European title, won the Gold medal at her home Commonwealth Games in a new Commonwealth Games record, and upgraded her 2021 World Championships bronze medal to a silver in Bogota.

In 2023, Campbell confirmed a hat-trick of three successive European titles, before in 2024 recreating her 2021 success, winning her fourth consecutive European title and her second Olympic medal, a bronze in the +81 kg category at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. In 2025 a fifth consecutive European title came.
