Michael John Campbell-Jones (born in Leatherhead, Surrey, on January 21, 1930) is a former Formula One driver from England. He participated in 2 grands prix, debuting on June 17, 1962. He scored no championship points.

After some success in sports car racing in 1958, Campbell-Jones entered Formula 2 whilst entering minor Formula 1 races. In 1962 he joined the Emeryson team but achieved little; his one World Championship entry was in the Belgian Grand Prix, where the Emeryson's gearbox failed in practice. He raced a borrowed Lotus which he retired with, ironically, gearbox failure, although he was classified 11th. However, he did achieve some minor placings in lesser Formula 1 races that year.

In 1963, he moved to Tim Parnell's team which were running Lolas, but he struggled again with his single Championship entry seeing him finish 13th at the British Grand Prix. After that season, Campbell-Jones faded from the scene.
