Hope Hull (March 13, 1763 – October 4, 1818) was an American minister. He was considered the founder of the Methodist Church in the U.S. state of Georgia.
He was born in Worcester County, Maryland, in 1763. and a house carpenter of Baltimore. Hope Hull settled in Athens, Georgia, around 1802 and was the Methodist minister there. The first Methodist church building in Athens, Georgia, was "a crude log cabin about 22 x 24 feet in size, presenting externally the appearance of a negro cabin without a chimney. This little place of worship was superseded in 1810 by a somewhat more commodious building in another location and known as 'Hull's Meeting House.'" He served as a trustee of the University of Georgia.
His sons were Asbury Hull, a lawyer and statesman in Georgia, and Henry Hull, a university professor.
