Hugo Meynell of Quorn, Master of the Quorn Hunt 1753–1800, is known as the father of fox hunting.
Hugo Meynell (June 1735 – 14 December 1808) is generally seen as the father of modern fox hunting, became Master of Fox Hounds for the Quorn Hunt in Leicestershire in 1753 and continued in that role for another forty-seven years (the hunt is so called after Meynell's home, Quorn Hall in Quorndon, North Leicestershire).

In 1762 Meynell was elected as one of the two members of parliament for Lichfield, after filing an election petition challenging the election of John Levett of Wychnor, Staffordshire.
