Hugh Hamon Massie (11 April 1854 — 12 October 1938) was a cricketer who played for New South Wales and Australia.1
Massie's role in the 1882 Ashes Test at The Oval was almost as pivotal in deciding the result as Fred Spofforth's celebrated performance with the ball.2 With Charles Bannerman as his opening partner, the hard-hitting Massie scored 55 in 57 minutes from just sixty deliveries, with nine fours, to give the Australians a chance.3 They duly took the match to win by seven runs.
His son Robert John 'Jack' Allwright Massie was also a noted New South Wales cricketer.4
