Courtney Campbell is a fictional character from the British soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Amy Conachan.

Casting and characterisation
On 18 July 2016, it was announced that Scottish actress Amy Conachan had joined the cast of Hollyoaks as Courtney Campbell, the cousin of established characters Cameron Campbell (Cameron Moore) and Lockie Campbell (Nick Rhys), the latter of whom Courtney is trying to track down. It was reported that Courtney would join the Lomax household and teach science at Hollyoaks High, the secondary school of the soap's fictional setting. Conachan was excited to join the soap and to finally be able to talk about it, explaining, "Coming in as a new character to a show that's been successful for many years is something I'm really proud of. Everyone has been very welcoming and I'm looking forward to seeing how much trouble Courtney will cause in the village". Cochran also joked that she hoped Cameron is ready for Courtney's arrival.

Courtney was characterised as being rebellious.

Introduction
Courtney comes to Hollyoaks to find her missing cousin, Lockie Campbell (Nick Rhys), who unbeknownst to her was murdered by his brother and her other cousin, Cameron Campbell (Cameron Moore).

Courtney preserves to find Lockie, which increasingly frustrates Cameron. A concerned Courtney continues searching for answers about Lockie and pushes Cameron for them, who she is becoming "increasingly suspicious" of. Cameron's pregnant fiancé, Leela Lomax (Kirsty-Leigh Porter), tells Courtney the "truth" about Lockie's drug use, but this does not stop Courtney from persevering with her mission and she sets up a missing person's page for Lockie. Courtney's search for her cousin leads to a "big week" for the Lomax and Campbell families as Leela ends up collapsing and Cameron promises her that no one, including Courtney, will stand in the way of them becoming parents again. Courtney later puts up posters around the village about Lockie but is forced to remove them when Cameron tells her that Leela has high blood pressure and needs to be kept calm, though the posters turn out to be "the least of Cameron's worries" as he is asked by the police to identify a body that they have found.

Suspension
In May 2021, Courtney has an "exciting time" in her career as she is due to be interviewed for acting deputy head at Hollyoaks High. At the same time, Courtney becomes aware that her student, Sid Sumner (Billy Price), has a crush on her when she finds him in a drunken state. Courtney explains to him that she does not have the same feelings for him as he is a student. However, Sid takes a picture of them whilst they are under the bike sheds, which leads to a "shocking" rumour about Courtney being spread due to Sid sharing the photo and "bragging" to his friends that he had sex with his teacher to prove to them that he is not sexually inexperienced. Courtney realises that her career is at risk when acting headteacher Nancy Hayton (Jessica Fox) warns her that they need to discuss Courtney's relationship with Sid. Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy whether Courtney would be able to prove that she has done nothing wrong.

Sid tells Courtney that he will try to sort the rumours out when Courtney is questioned about "seducing innocent school boys" by journalist Yasmine Maalik (Haiesha Mistry, who threatens to publish a story about that in the school newspaper. Courtney puts out one "fire" by threatening Yasmine with a libel suit, which makes her back down, but another fire is "brewing" when Courtney tells Nancy that she did not expect Sid to lie about having sex. Nancy, who was unaware about the rumour and had wanted to talk about the photo, is "gobsmacked" and suspends Courtney from the school, pending a full investigation. Being accused of a crime and at risk of going to prison, Courtney tells Sid how serious the situation has become and despite Sid promising that she will not get in trouble, an angry Courtney snaps at him, leaving him "reeling".

Reception
Following the news of Cochran's cousin, Harry Fletcher from Digital Spy wrote that it "looks like Hollyoaks has a new star in its midst".

For her role as Courtney, Conachan was longlisted for "Best Actress" at the British Soap Awards in 2018.

Sophie Dainty from Digital Spy wrote that the "pressure really is on for Cameron now" following Courtney making Lockie a Missing person's page, and questioned what "measures" Lockie would go to "silence" Courtney due to her refusal to stop her mission to find Lockie.

In November 2016, when discussing theories of how Cameron would get his comeuppance, Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy speculated that Courtney could be the one to catch Cameron, calling her "Strong-willed, curious and moralistic". Kilkelly noted that Courtney had been a "thorn in Cameron's side" since her debut, and added, "With her storyline so closely linked to Cameron's at the moment, it'd be a big surprise if Courtney wasn't involved with his downfall further on down the line. Could she be 2016's answer to Lynsey Nolan and become the village's next serial killer hunter extraordinaire? The clues are all there and she's smarter than most of the locals, so we wouldn't rule her out from cracking this case". Kilkelly also believed that it was understandable that Courtney wanted to have a funeral for Lockie when she found that he was dead.
