Hubert-Charron Cabana (14 June 1838 – 9 June 1901) was a Canadian lawyer, journalist, politician, and office holder.
Born in Verchères, Lower Canada, Cabana was important to the history of Canada and particularly to the French-speaking population of the Eastern Townships. He had a significant legal career in Sherbrooke as one of its first French Canadian lawyers. He founded the first French-language newspaper in that city and became its first francophone mayor.
