Conrado del Campo y Zabaleta^[1] (28 October 1878 – 17 March 1953) was a Spanish composer, violinist and pedagogue.

Del Campo was born in Madrid. He became professor at the Madrid Royal Conservatory in 1915, where he was an influential teacher.^[1] Among his pupils were Salvador Bacarisse, Julián Bautista, and Fernando Remacha. See: List of music students by teacher: C to F#Conrado del Campo.

His compositions were played in the Theatre Real of Madrid for José María Alvira. His opera Lola la Piconera made its debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, 12 December 1952. He was also the principal conductor of the Madrid Symphony Orchestra.

Del Campo was a major figure in the conservative musical climate during the period of rule by Francisco Franco, writing in a late Romantic style.

He died in Madrid aged 74.

Del Campo's characteristic symphonic music takes the form of evocative tone poems.
