The Honourable Hugh Ryan (July 1832 – 13 February 1899) was an Irish-Canadian railway magnate, industrialist, banker, philanthropist and eldest son of John Patrick Ryan and Margaret Conway. His family immigrated to Montreal, Canada, from Limerick, Ireland, in 1841 during the first wave of Irish-Catholic immigration after selling Gortkelly Castle to another branch of the Ryan clan. He was dubbed "Canada's wealthiest and greatest railroad contractor".
