Sir Harry Hope, 1st Baronet (24 September 1865 – 29 December 1959) was a Scottish Unionist politician and agriculturalist.

The youngest son of James Hope, who farmed extensively in the Lothians, Harry Hope followed in his father's footsteps. He became President of Scottish Chamber of Agriculture in 1908, and in the same year was invited to join the Scottish Agricultural Commission which was invited by the government of the Dominion of Canada to report on the country's agricultural resources.

Hope sat as member of parliament (MP) for Buteshire from 1910 to 1918, Stirlingshire and Clackmannan Western from 1918 to 1922, and Forfar from 1924 to 1931. He was knighted in 1920. In 1932 he was created a Baronet, of Kinnettles in the County of Angus.

Hope sat on numerous boards and was Convenor of Angus County Council for many years. He was appointed Deputy Lieutenant of the county in 1936 and Vice Lieutenant in 1938.
