Alberto Campo Baeza (born 1946) is a Spanish architect and teacher, often grouped with David Chipperfield and John Pawson among architects associated with minimalism. Born in Valladolid, he graduated from the Polytechnic University of Madrid in 1971, took his doctorate in 1982, and was professor of design at the Madrid school of architecture from 1986 to 2017. He favours white and neutral colour to bring out natural light, and in 2024 he received the Daylight Award.

Much of his work is houses: Casa Gaspar in Vejer de la Frontera (1992), set in Cádiz province, and Casa De Blas at Sevilla la Nueva near Madrid (2000), which won the COAM Award in 2002. In Granada the Caja Granada Headquarters (2001) won the Eduardo Torroja Award, and the Museum of Memory of Andalusia (MA) (2009) was nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award and honoured at the Buenos Aires Biennial. Later works include the House of the Infinite in Cádiz (2014). Alberto Campo Baeza's buildings are studied for light, proportion and economy of means.
