Jhasmani Campos Dávalos (born on October 5, 1988 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra), is a Bolivian footballer who currently plays for Oriente Petrolero. He plays as central midfielder.

Campos began his career at an early age with the well-known and prestigious Tahuichi Academy. While playing at a youth football tournament in Uruguay with the academy in 2005, he was spotted by a talent scout from Brazilian club Grêmio, who brought him to Porto Alegre to join the youth team later that year. After six months of negotiations, Grêmio didn't come to a mutual agreement with Tahuichi to retain Campos, and he returned to Bolivia in 2006. That same year he signed with first division club Oriente Petrolero and in short time he proved to be a vital part of the team . During 2007, Campos joined the Bolivia U-20 squad for the South American Youth Championship held in Paraguay. He also received his first call-up to the senior Bolivia national team for a friendly match against South Africa on March 28. In June of that year, he played for Bolivia in Copa América 2007, where he scored one goal against Peru.
