Sterling Carl Campbell (1896/97 - September 6, 1990) was a Canadian aviator and film director best known for the 1947 film Bush Pilot, one of the first narrative feature films ever produced by a Canadian film production company.

Campbell served in the Canadian Army during the First World War. He also had minor acting roles in the films Forced Landing, Hands Across the Table, Professional Soldier and Love Is News.

He subsequently returned to Canada, where he served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II.

With Geoffrey Wood, Larry Cromien and Austin Willis, Campbell launched Dominion Productions in 1946. Bush Pilot was the company's first film. despite having effectively dropped his campaign, he finished third behind the winners, William Dennison and May Birchard, and ahead of incumbent councillor Edgar Roxborough. In the subsequent 1958 municipal election, Margaret Campbell ran for council instead, winning the seat and beginning her own long career in politics.
