Hamilton Thomas Carlton Plantagenet MacCarthy (28 July 1846 – 24 October 1939) was one of the earliest masters of monumental bronze sculpture in Canada.
He is known for his historical sculptures, in particular his Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons at Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia (1904) as well as Samuel de Champlain overlooking Parliament Hill on Nepean Point, Ottawa (1915), next to the National Gallery of Canada.
His monument to the Ottawa volunteers who died in the South African War (1902) was moved to Confederation Park in 1969 after several moves.
Other works include that of Ottawa mayor, Samuel Bingham, in Notre-Dame Cemetery in Vanier.
