Hugh Pye (1 January 1860 – 22 August 1942) was an Australian agricultural educator and pioneering wheat breeder. He taught at, and was later principal at Dookie Agricultural College, where he developed more than 100 wheat cultivars aimed at improving drought tolerance and milling quality for low- and medium-rainfall districts. His most successful variety, Currawa (released 1912), became the second most widely grown wheat in Australia during the 1920s.
