Reginald Campbell Thompson (21 August 1876 – 23 May 1941) was a British archaeologist, Assyriologist and cuneiformist. He excavated at Nineveh, Ur, Nebo, Carchemish and other sites.

Biography
Thompson was born at Cranley Place, South Kensington, the eldest of five children of Dr. Reginald Edward Thompson (1834-1912) and Anne Isabella De Morgan, and educated at Colet Court, St Paul's School and Caius College, Cambridge, where he read oriental (Hebrew and Aramaic) languages.

In 1904 he found the remains of the temple of Nabu in Nineveh, which were destroyed in 2016 by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. In 1910 he recruited T E Lawrence to be the pottery expert for his Mesopotamia dig. In 1918 Mesopotamia became a possession of the UK, and the trustees of the British Museum applied to have an archaeologist attached to the army in the field to protect antiquities from harm. As a captain in the Intelligence Service serving in the region and a former assistant of the British Museum, R. C. Thompson was recommended by Lawrence and Gertrude Bell to start the work. After a brief investigation of Ur, he dug at Shahrain and the mounds at Tell al-Lahm.

After the First World War he had a fellowship with Merton College, Oxford. Thompson was a member of the Royal Asiatic Society, and left to them two canisters of film. "The footage dates from the late 1920s/early 1930s and shows excavations in Iraq at the mound of Kouyunjik, scenes in the village of Nebi Yunus, across the Khosr river from Kouyunjik within the ancient city boundaries of Nineveh, and scenes in the city of Mosul, across the river Tigris from Nineveh". The film was digitised in 2016.

The writer Agatha Christie and her husband the archaeologist Max Mallowan were invited by Thompson to the excavation site at Nineveh in 1931. She dedicated her story Lord Edgware Dies to "Dr and Mrs Campbell Thompson". In return he dedicated his melodrama in blank verse Digger's Fancy to "Agatha and Max Mallowan".
