Campa Cola is a soft drink brand in India. It was a market leader in most regions of India for a period spanning several years until the advent of the foreign players Pepsi and Coca-Cola after the liberalisation policy of the P. V. Narasimha Rao Government in 1991.

Campa Cola was a drink created by the Pure Drinks Group in the 1970s. The Pure Drinks Group pioneereed the India soft drink industry when it introduced Coca-Cola into India in 1949, and were the sole manufacturers and distributors of Coca-Cola till the 1970's when Coke was asked to leave. The Pure Drinks Group and Campa Beverages Pvt. Ltd. virtually monopolized the entire Indian soft drink industry for about 20 years, and then started Campa Cola during the absence of foreign competition.
