Brian Michael Stanislaus Hoban (7 October 1921 in British Guiana – 6 July 2003), was a teacher of classics, and Headmaster of Harrow School from 1971–81.
In 1934 he won a scholarship to Charterhouse, where he remained until the onset of World War II in 1939.
He headed Harrow at a difficult time for British public schools generally, due to the political environment and financial pressures.
Despite sometimes public criticism, Hoban responded with cost-saving measures, whilst refurbishing houses.
He oversaw many important building projects, including the new Central Feeding block; the New Knoll boarding house; and new physics and maths schools.
