Hugh Roberts (1867–1928)[1] was an architect in Jersey City, New Jersey. He designed the Hudson County Courthouse.[2] Roberts served two terms as president of the New Jersey Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

He was born in Brooklyn, New York and studied at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute.[3]

A corruption scandal followed completion of the courthouse in 1910 and damaged his career.[4] He also designed several homes in what is now the West Bergen - East Lincoln Park Historic District[5]

He married and had a daughter and three sons.
