Brigadier General Andrew Hamilton Gault (18 August 1882 – 28 November 1958) was a Canadian Army officer and British politician.
At his own expense, he raised the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, the last privately raised regiment in the British Empire.
Hatch Court in Somerset today houses a small museum commemorating Gault's military career.
From 1924 to 1935 he was the Conservative Member of Parliament for Taunton, Somerset.
Returning to Quebec after World War II, Gault vigilantly defended his estate of Mont Saint-Hilaire from expropriation by mining interests and bequeathed it to McGill University to help ensure its preservation.
