Frederick Francis Campbell (born August 5, 1943) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.

[1] He studied at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, obtaining a Bachelor of Foreign Language degree magna cum laude in 1965.

[4] In 2005, Campbell proposed the establishment of a civil registry of priests from the diocese who had been "credibly accused" of sexual abuse.

[5] Campbell testified in 2006 against a proposed law in the Ohio General Assembly that would have allowed a 20-year statute of limitations for sexual abuse cases.

In his testimony to the legislature, Campbell claimed that the 20-year for prosecution window wasn't fair and would curtail the church's charitable work.

[9] On August 17, 2018, Campbell and the diocese were named in a $2 million lawsuit by Kevin Heidtman, a former student at St. Charles Preparatory School in Columbus.

[13] Campbell was subsequently appointed apostolic administrator for the diocese and remained in that role until the installation of Bishop Robert J. Brennan as his replacement on March 29, 2019.
