Hubert Maingot (died 28 August 2009) was a Trinidad and Tobago athlete in the shot put and discus throw.

Maingot was a six-time national champion in shot put (1975, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1989 & 1994) and won a further four national titles in discus (1979, 1980, 1981 & 1989). He was a bronze medalist in shot put at the 1983 Pan American Games in Caracas, where he also came seventh in discus.[1][2] A former shot put national record holder, Maingot took the record from Olympian Roy Hollingsworth, improving the mark several times until his best throw of 17.68 m in 1985.[3]
