John Campbell, 1st Baron Cawdor (1753 – 1 June 1821), was a British politician.

Campbell was the son of Pryse Campbell and Sarah Bacon. He was Member of Parliament for Cardigan Boroughs from a by-election in June 1780 until he stood down at the 1796 general election. The latter year he was raised to the peerage as Baron Cawdor, of Castlemartin in the County of Pembroke. He was the commander of the Pembrokeshire Yeomanry which defeated the Last invasion of Britain in 1797.

Lord Cawdor married Lady Isabella Caroline Howard, daughter of Frederick Howard, 5th Earl of Carlisle and Lady Margaret Caroline Leveson-Gower, on 28 July 1789. They had two children:

• John Frederick Campbell, 1st Earl Cawdor (1790–1860).
• Rear-Admiral Hon. George Pryse Campbell (1793–12 August 1858), married on 13 October 1821 Charlotte Gascoyne, daughter of Isaac Gascoyne.
