Hans Busk the elder (28 May 1772 – 8 February 1862) was a Welsh poet, who published poems during the period 1814–1834.
Although obscure today, they did receive some attention at the time, for instance "The Banquet" and "The Vestriad" were reviewed in the Literary Gazette, the latter on the front page.
He lived for many years at Great Cumberland Place, near Hyde Park in the City of Westminster, where he died in 1862.
He was the youngest son of Sir Wadsworth Busk and Alice, daughter of Edward Parish.
His father served as Attorney General of the Isle of Man for more than twenty years, where Hans received his early education.
