Antonia Campbell-Hughes is an actress, writer, director and former fashion designer from Northern Ireland. She is best known for playing Natascha Kampusch in 3096 Days, Marie-Antoinette in Dangerous Liaisons and the title role in Cordelia.

Campbell-Hughes was born in Derry, Northern Ireland, living there until the age of two. Until the age of 16 she would move between the United States, Switzerland, Germany, and England. After experimenting with short film, she went to art school in Dublin, and during that time, as a teenager, she started her own fashion label. Her clothing line would sell internationally under her own name, and a diffusion line for high street store Topshop. Her first notable film role was in the Jane Campion feature film Bright Star, and her first starring role was the 2011 indie drama Lotus Eaters. This was followed by the lead role in the 2012 film Kelly + Victor, which won the BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer that year. The following year she played Natascha Kampusch in 3096 Days. Natascha, an Austrian, was abducted at age 10 and held captive for eight years, escaping in 2006, a case that made headlines worldwide. Other notable roles followed in movies like Les Cowboys, The Canal and Never Grow Old. She co-starred in the 2022 David Lynch production The Other Me, written and directed by Georgian Giga Agladze.

In 2022, she released her directorial debut It Is In Us All, a thriller that she wrote and in which she plays a supporting role. The film won the Extraordinary Cinematic Vision award at the SXSW Film Festival and was nominated for the SXSW Grand Jury Award, Narrative Feature. It was nominated for a pair of British Independent Film Awards and was selected for a number of festivals.
