Hubert Benjamin Hughes (15 October 1933 – 7 May 2021) was an Anguillan politician. He was the island territory's Chief Minister from 16 March 1994 to 6 March 2000, and again between February 2010 and April 2015.[1]

Hughes was the only independent elected to parliament in the 1976 Anguillian general election, while the other seats were won by the People's Progressive Party (PPP). He later supported a motion of no confidence against Ronald Webster, which succeeded as he was joined by several members of the PPP.[2]

He had stated his intention to lead the island to separation from the United Kingdom. This is despite the fact that European Union assistance funds, and visa-free entry to the US, Canada, EU and islands in the French and Dutch Caribbean such as Saint Martin would stop.[3]
