Francis Charles Hughes-Hallett (1838 – 22 June 1903) was a Royal Artillery officer and Conservative politician who represented Rochester in the British House of Commons. He was damaged politically by a personal scandal. Hughes-Hallet was the son of Charles Madras Hughes-Hallett and his wife Emma Mary Roberts. He became a colonel in the Royal Artillery. In 1885 he was elected as Member of Parliament for Rochester and reelected in 1886. However, a personal scandal led to his being hounded by the press and shunned by his parliamentary colleagues and he stood down from Parliament in 1889. .
