Fiona Kumari Campbell (born 1963) is a disability studies researcher and theorist, focusing on disability in relation to law, technology, advocacy, and desire. She is currently a Senior Lecturer in the School of Education and Social Work at the University of Dundee, Scotland. She is also an adjunct professor in Disability Studies with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. Her specific research on ableism focuses on how notions of disabled and able-bodies are recited in the dominant discourse of society. In particular, her book, Contours of Ableism, attempts to challenge "notions of what constitutes 'normal' and 'pathological' bodies" and what truly distinguishes the "able body" from the "disabled body."
