David Campbell (born 15 April 1953) is a British clarinettist. Campbell is internationally recognised as one of Britain's finest musicians and was described by the doyen of British clarinettists, Jack Brymer, as 'the finest player of his generation'. Campbell attended Barton Peveril Grammar School in Eastleigh, Hampshire. A large part of Campbell's early career was spent as a clarinettist in the field of contemporary music as a member of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies's chamber ensemble, 'The Fires of London', also playing regularly with the London Sinfonietta, Endymion, and Lontano, but over the past twenty years David Campbell has developed the solo and chamber music strands of his career, performing in over forty countries with leading orchestras and ensembles.
