Archibald Campbell, 7th Count of Argyll (1575 or 1576 - London, 1638) was a Scottish soldier.
He was the eldest son of Colin Campbell, 6th Count of Argyll, and Agnes Keith. He followed his father at the age of eight as a dig. In February 1592 his ally, the Count of Moray, was killed on behalf of Argyll's closest blood relative, also called Archibald, who coined with the Count of Huntly. Just after Argyll's marriage to Anne Douglas, later that year, he became seriously ill, probably due to poisoning. In 1594 he fought against the graves of Huntly and Erroll. By betrayal of his own men, Argyll had to flee, after which he swore to avenge Huntly and his traitors. In order to prevent escalation of the conflict, King Jacobus VI came from Scotland and he managed to reconcile both graves on February 12, 1603. After that, Argyll and Huntly jointly fought against the Clandonalds. Despite military success, the Count of Argyll was in such big financial trouble that he had to flee the country. Meanwhile, he was married to Anne Cornwallis, who would encourage him to convert to Catholicism. In 1619 he left Scotland to fight in Flanders on Spain. This was taken to him in his homeland and on 16 February 1619 he was declared traitor and rebel. On November 22, 1621, however, he was taken back into the Scottish nobility. Then he went to England, where he died in 1638. He was succeeded by his son, Archibald, who had managed family goods in Scotland since his father's departure in 1619.
