Hugh Mosman (11 February 1843 – 15 November 1909) was a mine owner and politician in Queensland, Australia.

[1] Merchant Archibald Mosman (1799–1863) was his father,[2] and his mother was Harriet née Farquharson[3] Hugh received his education at The King's School in North Parramatta, New South Wales.

[4] Mosman initially aspired to be a pastoralist, but failed to establish a successful career and was left broke.

[4] He spent the next ten years mining,[6] and in 1870 he revisited Queensland, choosing to work in Ravenswood.

[4] Mosman remained generally reclusive up until June 1891, when he became a member of the Queensland Legislative Council.

However, on Saturday 13 November 1909, Mosman went to Eagle Farm Racecourse for the Derby race, but was forced to return home after the first race feeling ill. On the following Monday 15 November, he was at his residence Easton Gray, Soudan Street, Toowong, Brisbane, when he drank a glass of milk and died.

[19][20] The house Easton Gray (home of the Palmer family) and its 18 acres of land was sold in 1944 to construct Toowong High School, now Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics and Technology.
