The Haileybury Hockey Club was a professional ice hockey club that played in Haileybury, Ontario, during the 1909-10 NHA season. Its record in that season was four wins and eight losses, scoring 77 goals for and 83 goals against. The team folded after that season.

Little remembered today, the HHC is notable because after its sole season of operation, the O'Brien silver mining interests which owned it sold the franchise to the Club Athletique-Canadien of Montreal. The new owners moved the franchise to Montreal and renamed it the Montreal Canadiens, the oldest professional hockey team in existence.

Notable players included Alex Currie, Art Ross, Paddy Moran and Skene Ronan. Haileybury's leading scorer was Horace Gaul with 22 goals, good for seventh in the NHA that season.
