The comarca of the Campo de Gibraltar (literally the Gibraltar Countryside as it was the hinterland of the now British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar) is one of six traditional and tourist subdivisions of the province of Cádiz, Spain, in the southwestern part of the autonomous community of Andalusia, the southernmost part of continental Western Europe.
A Spanish comarca is roughly the equivalent of a county in the USA or Canada, a county in the United Kingdom, or a Landkreis in Germany, though without any administrative relevance.
The Campo de Gibraltar comarca is integrated by the following municipalities:
