Hugh Monroe (born July 9, 1798, died December 8, 1882) was a fur trader, trapper, interpreter who lived and traded with the Kootenai and Pikuni tribe of Blackfoot indians in northern Montana near what is now Glacier National Park (U.S.). He is purportedly the first white man to visit the region that became Glacier National Park. He is credited with naming the St. Mary Lakes in the park's northeast corner in 1836.
