Hugh Ruttledge, who lived from 24 October 1884 to 7 November 1961, was an English civil servant and mountaineer. He is known as the leader of two British expeditions to Mount Everest, the first in 1933 and the second in 1936. His climbing career is therefore remembered chiefly for organising and leading attempts on the highest mountain in the world rather than for individual first ascents, and it ran alongside his work in the civil service.
