Hiram Haskell Edgerton (April 19, 1847 – June 18, 1922) was an American businessman and politician who served as the 49th mayor of Rochester, New York from 1908 to 1921.

When he was 11 years old, his family moved to Rochester, where his father ran a lumber business and construction firm.

[2] Edgerton received criticism for his decision to close the city's social centers, which frequently featured socialist speakers and other opponents of the Republican machine.

Edgerton and other city officials pursued the construction of a subway system in the abandoned canal bed.

Construction was unanimously approved by the common council on November 9, 1921, and the Rochester subway would later begin operations in 1927.
