Hugh Minson (born 9 March 1988) is an Australian Rules Footballer, who played for Port Adelaide in the AFL, and Norwood in the SANFL. Hugh was taken at selection number 58 in the 2005 AFL Draft, as a young ruckman, possibly in a bid to develop new ruckman as Port Adelaide’s first choice ruckman, Brendon Lade and Dean Brogan, are 31 and 28 years old respectively.

In 2006, Hugh played most of his games playing for Norwood's reserves side, and is still yet to debut for Port Adelaide. He is generally seen as the 5th choice ruckman for Port Adelaide, but will be looking to make an impact in 2008.

On 9 April 2008, he announced his retirement from football due to knee problems. [http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/tabid/6038/Default.aspx?newsid=57629]
