Cape Campbell, Te Karaka in Māori language, is located in Marlborough, New Zealand, on the northeastern coast of the South Island. It lies at the southern end of Clifford Bay, 15 km northeast of Ward, and 42 km southeast of Blenheim.

It is the third easternmost point of the south island, at a longitude of about 174^o16.5' East. The two easternmost points are West Head (it is the western shore of the opening to Tory Channel - the opposing shore being on Arapawa Island), and Cape Jackson (between the entrances to Queen Charlotte Sound and Port Gore), both at a longitude of 174^o19' east.

Cape Campbell lies close to the salt works at Lake Grassmere.
