Colin Hargreaves Pearson, Baron Pearson (28 July 1899 – 31 January 1980) was a Canadian-born English barrister and judge.
Rising to sit as a judge in the House of Lords, he is best remembered for his unspectacular but efficient and courteous chairmanship of industrial inquiries and royal commissions.
His 1978 report into civil liability and compensation for personal injury made proposals for state pensions for accident victims that were largely rejected by government at the time.
