Campo ([ˈkampo]; [kampo]) is a town in the county of Ribagorza, in the province of Huesca, in Aragon, Spain. Situated in a valley between 2 rivers, the Esera and Rialbo, it is surrounded by snow-capped Pyrenean mountain peaks: most notably, the Turbón (2.492 m) and Cotiella (2.912 m).

The town's municipal district includes the hamlet of Beleder, locally known as Belbedé, 2 km north of Campo.
Due to the landlock created by the mountains, the locals continue to speak the centuries-old Patues (Patois), colloquially known as "Fabla", a transitional Aragonese–Catalan dialect.
It is also the birthplace of Gaspar Torrente (1888–1970), one of the early 20th Century leaders and a founding father of the Aragonese nationalism.
