Ronald Campbell (born August 14, 1943) is the Labour member of Parliament for Blyth Valley in north-east England. He has been an MP since 1987, and has often voted against the government on issues such as the Iraq War. Before entering parliament he was a district councillor on Blyth Valley Borough Council and a lay official of the National Union of Mineworkers. (NUM). After a succession of MPs: Alfred Robens (1950–1960), the deselected but well liked in some quarters Eddie Milne (MP 1960–1974), and the disgraced John Ryman who was perceived as remote, controversial and distant from the community, Campbell has been associated with the regeneration of the Blyth Valley. Ronnie is married to Deirdre Campbell, who serves on Northmberland County Council.

Campbell is noted for accidentally supporting the first National Fetish Day, due to him misunderstanding the meaning of the word "Fetish". Campbell said in an interview, "I thought a fetish was a worry, like worrying about backing the right horse." [cite news|last=Robson|first=Ian|url=http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=84662&in_page_id=2|title=MP confesses to horse fetish|publisher=Sunday Sun|date=2008-01-20|accessdate=2008-01-25] When the government nationalised Northern Rock in 2008, Campbell declared it "the People's Bank" and opened an account.

Campbell has a notable port wine birthmark on his right cheek.
