Thomas Edward Campbell (January 18, 1878 – March 1, 1944)[1] was the second governor of the state of Arizona,[2] United States. He was the first Republican and first native-born governor elected after Arizona achieved statehood in 1912.

In 1917, he was declared the governor of Arizona in a disputed gubernatorial election but the decision was later overturned by the courts, who awarded the election to George W. P. Hunt. Campbell ran for governor again and won two terms, serving 1919–1923. He died in 1944. He played instrumental roles in the drafting of Arizona's tax and revenue laws and adoption of the Colorado River Compact that allocated water rights among the western states.[3]
