Archibald Campbell, 7th Earl of Argyll (c. 1575 – 1638), also called "Archibald the Grim", was a Scottish politician and military leader. He was the son of Colin Campbell, 6th Earl of Argyll, and converted to Roman Catholicism, although in 1594 he had commanded royal troops in the Battle of Glenlivat against Catholic Rebels, especially the Gordons of Huntley. In 1619, he surrendered his estates to his son, Archibald Campbell. He was made a knight of the Golden Fleece in 1624. His kinsman was William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling.
