Percy Addleshaw (1866 in Bowdon, Cheshire – 1916) was an English barrister and writer.

A graduate of Christ Church, Oxford, Addleshaw was called to the bar in 1893. He was an admirer and friend of Roden Noel.[1] He wrote articles, poems and reviews for various publications and, under the pseudonym of Percy Hemingway[2] published Out of Egypt,[3] a volume of short stories (1894) and The Happy Wanderer and other verse. In 1920 a posthumous collection of verse was published with a lenghty introduction by Arundel Osborne, titled Last Verses.
