Craig Abbot is a contestant from Australian Survivor (2002).

Craig originally tried to play an honest game in line with the "happy family" mentality the Kadina tribe had, but after being honest with David Haas led the latter to try to form an alliance against Craig, Craig became disillusioned and gradually emerged as the most strategically proactive Kadina member. After his tribe's failure in the Immunity Challenges saw them enter merge with only three members left, Craig proved a formidable underdog, going on a winning streak in Immunity Challenges and attempting to divide the opposing Tipara majority, including campaigns against Katie Gold. Despite earning the admiration of Sciona Browne as a "warrior", his failure to win the third Individual Immunity Challenge saw him unanimously eliminated on Day 27 as a threatening player and the last Kadina standing.
