Justin Campbell (born 1970) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Galway senior team.[1]

Born in Kiltormer, County Galway, Campbell first excelled at hurling in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Galway minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He joined the senior panel for the 1992 championship. Campbell went on to play a key role for Galway for the rest of the decade, however, he won few trophies. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

At club level Campbell is a one-time All-Ireland medallist with Kiltormer. In addition to this he also won two Connacht medals and two championship medals.

In retirement from playing Campbell has become involved in team management and coaching. He was appointed manager of the Roscommon senior hurling team in 2013.[2]

In 2015 he led Roscommon to a second Nicky Rackard Cup title. He was later appointed manager of the Connachat hurling team.
