Oliver George Hutchinson (6 May 1891 – April 1944) was a British businessman who played a key role in popularising John Logie Baird's invention of television. Hutchinson had met Baird while both were apprentices at the Argyll Motor Works in Glasgow. During the First World War, he served as an officer in the Army Cyclist Corps and Tank Corps. After the war Hutchinson developed several successful businesses in London, including one selling soap. After meeting Baird by chance he agreed to support his work on the first television system. Hutchinson provided funds and publicised the operation, and even appeared as the subject of the first public demonstration of the technology in 1926. Hutchinson was later joint managing director of the Baird Television Development Company and was present in New York when the first trans-Atlantic broadcast was made in 1928.
