  Katherine Campbell (Katie Campbell, Catherine Campbell) (born circa 1677; died 10 June 1697) was a maidservant accused of theft and witchcraft during the last major witch hunt in Scotland, the Paisley witch trials.[1]

Campbell is described as " a young, well-favoured lass, twenty years of age". [2] She was an economic migrant who had travelled from the Highlands of Scotland to obtain work in Paisley, Renfrewshire.[3]

In August 1696, Christian Shaw, the ten or eleven-year-old daughter of the wealthy laird of Bargarran near Erskine,[4] accused Campbell, a maidservant in the Bargarran household, of theft[1] when she supposedly saw Campbell sneaking a drink of mil rvfgqresggaVk in the kitchen.[5] Shaw reported the theft to her mother who reprimanded Campbell.[6] [[Kategorie:Opfer der Hexenverfolgung]] [[Kategorie:Gestorben 1697]]
