Harry Hampton (March 21, 1889 – May 5, 1965) was a Scottish-American professional golfer. His best finish in a major championship was a tie for third place in the 1920 PGA Championship when he met Jock Hutchison (the eventual winner of the tournament) in a semi-final match and lost 4 and 3. He finished T7 in the 1927 U.S. Open and won seven tournaments during his professional playing career. Hampton was a good iron player and made 16 holes-in-one in his lifetime.
