Curtis Campbell, also sometimes credited as Curtis te Brinke, is a Canadian writer. He is most noted for his 2022 Toronto Fringe Festival play Gay for Pay with Blake & Clay, which he cowrote with Daniel Krolik.

Krolik and Campbell received a Dora Mavor Moore Award nomination for Outstanding Original Play, Independent Theatre in 2023. They returned to the 2023 Fringe Festival with the sequel show Blake and Clay's Gay Agenda.

An alumnus of Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, Ontario, he won an Outstanding Performance award at the Ontario Drama Festival in 2012. He subsequently studied theatre at York University.

In 2016, Campbell and Sadie Epstein-Fine self-produced the play Tire Swing at Toronto's Kensington Hall.

Many, but not all, of his works are set in Mason County, a fictionalized version of his native Huron County, and often centre on the challenges of being LGBTQ in small-town environments. He has also written the plays Perfect Circles, Midnight Toronto, Waiting for It, Imp, Better, with Bevon, Section A3 and The Reincarnation of James H. Christ, and the short fiction collection Mason, Ontario. His novel Dragging Mason County is slated for publication in fall 2023.
