Zaliv Campeche (šp. Golfo de Campeche) je najjužnija zalivska površina akvatorije Meksičkog zaliva u Atlantskom okeanu. Sa tri strane zaliv je okružen teritorijama meksičkih saveznih država Campeche, Tabasco i Verakruz. U administrativnom pogledu akvatorija zaliva je deo teritorijalnih voda Meksika.

Površina zaliva je oko 16.000 km², a maksimalna dubina je do 3286 metara. Širina u severnom delu je oko 750 km, dužina do 300 km.

Prvi Evropljanin koji je otkrio zaliv bio je španski konkistador Francisco Hernández de Córdoba 1517. (otkrio poluostrvo Yucatán).[1]

U zalivu se nalazi veliko naftno polje Cantarell, koje je otkriveno 1976. godine. Usled havarije na naftnoj platformi Ixtoc I 3. juna 1979. u zaliv su se izlile velike količine sirove nafte, i bila je to u to vreme treća najveća ekološka katastrofa izazvana izlivom nafte u svetu.

Tokom juna i jula meseca u zalivu se formiraju brojni tropski uragani.[2] Zaliv je poznat i kao važna ruta tokom migracije ptica selica.[3]
