Hugh Dempster (3 August 1900 – 30 April 1987) was a British theatre and film actor.[1][2]

Born in London, Dempster made his stage debut in 1920, and began his screen career in the silent film era.[3] His credits included Vice Versa, Anna Karenina, The Winslow Boy, The Fan, Scrooge, The House Across the Lake and The Ghost Train (short film).[4]

Thirty-six years separated Dempster's first and last appearances on Broadway.[5] He debuted in the 1929 melodrama Rope's End by Patrick Hamilton and in 1965 replaced Peter Sallis as Dr. Watson in the Sherlock Holmes-inspired musical Baker Street.

Dempster died in Chicago, Illinois.[3]
