Harford Montgomery Hyde (1907 - 1989) was a barrister, politician, prolific author, known for such books as A History of Pornography (1964).

He was deselected in 1959, losing his seat in the House of Commons, as a result of campaigning for homosexual law reform.

In an analysis of the Oscar Wilde trial, he suggests the term "gross indecency" implies homosexual acts not amounting to buggery in British legislation of Oscar Wilde's time.
