Hugh Buckler (9 September 1881 – 30 October 1936), often referred to as Hugh C. Buckler, was a British actor. He was married to the stage actress Violet Paget, about whom little has been found. Buckler and Paget founded Sydney's Little Theatre in 1913. The film actor John Buckler was their son.

Buckler, who was a reserve officer with the Royal Irish Rifles, fought with the British army in The Great War. A rumor that he had a leg amputated below the knee was later reported as unfounded.

Father and son died together when their car left the road and plunged into Malibu Lake.
