Dean L. Hubbard (born 1939) is an American academic administrator. He was the president of Northwest Missouri State University from 1984 until 2009—the longest of any president in the school's history.

During Hubbard's tenure the school avoided an announced closing and created the first electronic campus in the United States. It also experienced success in sports, with Northwest appearing in six national title games and playing some games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.[1][2] [3][4] Before retiring in 2009 a program was started to replace students' printed textbooks with the electronic books or ebooks.[1]
