Archibald Hamilton, 9th Duke of Hamilton and 6th Duke of Brandon (15 July 1740 – 16 February 1819) was a Scottish peer and politician.
Hamilton was the eldest son of the 5th Duke of Hamilton and his third wife, Anne, and was educated at Eton. On 25 May 1765, he married Lady Harriet Stewart (a daughter of the 6th Earl of Galloway) and they had five children, including Alexander (1767-1852), Charlotte (d. 1827, married the 11th Duke of Somerset) and Susan (d. 1846, married the 5th Earl of Dunmore).
In 1768, Hamilton became MP for Lancashire and held the seat until 1772. In 1799, he inherited his half-nephew's titles and was appointed his successor as Lord Lieutenant of Lanarkshire. The duke died in 1819 and was succeeded by his eldest son.
