Ian Campbell (born 1974 or 1975) is a Canadian politician and both a hereditary chief and elected councillor of the Squamish Nation.[1] A member of the Squamish Nation, he lives in North Vancouver, British Columbia.[2] In May 2018, Campbell announced that he intended to run for Mayor of Vancouver in the 2018 municipal election. He was later confirmed as the Vision Vancouver candidate.[3][4][5][6]

As hereditary chief of the Squamish Nation, Campbell has been opposed to the proposed Squamish, British Columbia Woodfibre LNG project[7][8] and the Trans Mountain Pipeline.[9] He was chief, when the nation filed a court challenge against the pipeline.[10]

In October 2017, Campbell proposed tearing down the Fairmont Academy a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) barracks. He claimed doing so would assist the reconciliation process, citing the historic "marginalization of Indigenous peoples" by the RCMP.[11]
