Augustus John Cuthbert Hare (13 March 1834 - 22 January 1903) was an English writer and raconteur.
He was the youngest son of Francis George Hare of Herstmonceux, East Sussex, and Gresford, Flintshire, Wales, and nephew of Augustus William Hare and Julius Hare. Augustus Hare was born in Rome; later he was adopted by his aunt, the widow of Augustus Hare, and his parents renounced all further claim to him. His autobiography The Story of My Life details both a devotion to his adopted mother, Maria, and an intense unhappiness with his home education. He spent one year at Harrow School in 1847 but left due to ill health. In 1853 he matriculated at University College, Oxford, graduating in 1857 with a BA.
