Major-General William Francis Moore Hutchinson (3 February 1841 – 22 April 1917) was a British Army officer and English first-class cricketer.

Born at Bishopsgate in the City of London in February 1841, Hutchinson was commissioned into the Royal Artillery as a lieutenant in October 1857.[1] His first promotion came in July 1869, when he was promoted to second captain.[2] In the same year as this promotion, Hutchinson made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Hampshire at Lord's.[3] Batting once in what was an innings victory for the MCC, he was dismissed for a single run by Henry Tate.[4]

He became a major in October 1877,[5] before being promoted to lieutenant colonel in October 1884.[6] Hutchinson was promoted to colonel in April 1889.[7] During the 1890s he was the commanding officer of the Royal Artillery at Curragh Camp, an appointment which last until April 1896.[8] He was made a temporary major general upon his appointment to deputy adjutant-general at the Royal Artillery headquarters in August 1897,[9] where he served in the capacity of deputy adjutant-general to Major-General Arthur Yeatman-Biggs.[10] He was appointed colonel commandant of the Royal Artillery in September 1909, in place of the late Major-General Sir Henry James Alderson.[11][12] Hutchinson died at Eastbourne in April 1917.[13]

Hutchinson married Charlotte Annie Susan Woodford, the daughter of Lieutenant Alexander George Woodford and granddaughter of Field-Marshal Sir Alexander Woodford, in 1872. Together they had a son in 1874, William Arthur Hutchinson, who became a major in the Royal Munster Fusiliers.[14]
