Hugh Longbourne Callendar FRS (18 April 1863 - 21 January 1930) was a British physicist. He was born at Hatherop as the eldest son of the Reverend Hugh Callendar, a local Anglican rector. He had three sons Leslie Hugh Callendar, Guy Stewart Callendar, and Max Victor Callendar. He married Victoria Mary Stewart in 1894.
In 1893 Hugh was appointed Professor of Physics at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He was succeeded at this post by Ernest Rutherford, the "father" of nuclear physics. His two eldest sons Leslie (1896) and Guy (1898) were born during this time at McGill.
Hugh designed the first X-Ray experiments in Canada which produced satisfactory images used in hospitals. Hugh's interests and hobbies included Astronomy, nature study, competitive shooting, Gymnastics, Soccer, Tennis, and handicraft.
