Homer Baker (June 8, 1893 – November 25, 1977) was an American, middle-distance track and field athlete. He became US national half-mile champion in 1913 and 1914. He toured Europe during 1914 and won the British 880-yard crown from the famed Albert Hill. Baker had poor eyesight and withdrew from running for 18 months after a 1917 accident in the New York City Subway. He did the 880 yards (half-mile) in 1,56,4 and 660 yards in 1,20,4 (world record holding up for 26 years). In 1923 he was appointed physical director in the Panama Canal Zone.
