The Campbell Valley is an icy valley with east-west orientation in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . It lies between the main group of the Crary Mountains and the Boyd Ridge ridge .
The United States Geological Survey mapped the valley based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from the years 1959 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Wallace Hall Campbell (* 1926), ionospheric physicist on Macquarie Island (1961– 1962) and on McMurdo Station (1964–1965).
