Hugh Binning (1627–1653) was a Scottish philosopher and theologian. He was born in Scotland during the reign of Charles I and was ordained in the (Presbyterian) Church of Scotland. A supporter of the Scottish Reformation, he refused to follow the episcopal church of the king of England, and preached as a Covenanter. He died in 1653, during the time of Oliver Cromwell and the Commonwealth of England. Binning was born in Straiton, South Ayrshire.
