Hugh Bolton (born 15 November 1879) was a Scottish footballer who played mainly as an inside right for Port Glasgow Athletic, Newcastle United, Everton, Bradford (Park Avenue), Morton, Glentoran and Johnstone.

[3] Not only was his debut for his new club against his former employers,[4] but he faced them again four months later in the 1906 FA Cup Final, which Everton won 1–0.

[5] He lost his place in the team to fellow Scot George Wilson for much of the following season but was re-instated when Wilson became involved in a dispute over his contract,[6] and it was Bolton who played in the 1907 FA Cup Final, this time resulting in a defeat to The Wednesday.

[6] After returning to the west of Scotland with Morton in September 1910,[2][8] he spent time in Ireland with Glentoran while on the 'open to transfer' list, then finished his career with Johnstone.
