Sir Hugh Purves-Hume-Campbell, 7th Baronet (15 December 1812 – 30 January 1894)[1][2] was a British Conservative and Tory politician.[3][4]

He was the son of William Purves-Hume-Campbell and Charlotte Rey. In 1834, he married Margaret Penelope Spottiswoode, daughter of John Spottiswoode and Helen Wauchope, and they had one child: Helen Purves-Hume-Campbell (c. 1835–1875).[4]

Purves-Hume-Campbell was first elected Tory MP for Berwickshire at a by-election in 1834—caused by the death of Charles Albany Marjoribanks—and held the seat until 1847, when he did not seek re-election.[3][5] A keen cricketer, he played first-class cricket twice for the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1837, playing at Lord's against Oxford University and Cambridge University.[6]

He succeeded to the Baronetcy of Purves Hall in 1833 upon the death of his father. Upon his own death in 1894, the title was inherited by John Home-Purves-Hume-Campbell.[2][4]
