The Campbell nunatak is a nunatak on the Budd coast of the East Antarctic Wilkesland . It rises on the south-eastern border of the Windmill Islands 5 km east-northeast of the Alexander Nunatakker on the southeastern branch of Penney Bay .
The Nunatak was mapped using aerial photographs of the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947) and Operation Windmill (1947–1948). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 1956 after H. Campbell Jr., a member of the photography units at Operation Windmill, who took photos of the area on the ground and from the air in January 1948.
