Sir Hugh S. Roberton (23 February 1874 – 7 October 1952) was a Scottish composer and Britain's leading choral-master.Roberton was born in Glasgow, where, in 1906, he founded the Glasgow Orpheus Choir.

Their repertoire included many Scottish folk songs arranged for choral performance, and Paraphrases, as well as Italian madrigals, English motet
