James Montgomery Campbell (1859-1937) was a Scottish clergyman who served as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1928.

[3] After leaving the local parish school, Campbell attended the Church of Scotland Normal School in the Cowcaddens, Glasgow, before proceeding to Arts and Divinity courses at the city's university.

There followed practical training as a so-called student missionary at Lochinver in Assynt parish, Sutherland, then an assistant post at St Clement's, Dundee.

[5][6] Throughout his career, Campbell was a very active public figure, functioning, inter alia, as chairman of the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary and president of the region's Fine Arts Society as well as in several committees.

He was married to Agnes, the daughter of Glasgow lawyer John Guy, who predeceased him in 1935.
