Hugo Myatt is a British actor, best-known for his role as dungeon master Treguard of Dunshelm in the children's game show Knightmare. He has often commented that he did not mind working with children on Knightmare as his first job was as an actor in children's theatre.

In addition to numerous computer security training videos, he directs and performs in rep theatre and pantomime. He has recently appeared in two horror movies, Snuff-Movie (2005) for director Bernard Rose, and Clive Ashenden's horror short Snatching Time (2006) in which he played the lead role of psychopath Bob Snatcher.

In 2000, he appeared in an episode of ChuckleVision called "Out for the Count", which included several references to his time in Knightmare. He appeared in an edition of Dick and Dom in da Bungalow, but was locked in a cage for the entire production, only speaking at the end of the show with his Knightmare catchphrase "Oooh, nasty!" He has also appeared in a crime reconstruction on Crimewatch.

He has provided voices for the computer games Black and White and Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds, the Doctor Who audio dramas Omega, Weapon of Choice, A Blind Eye and Panacea (part of the Gallifrey audio series); and for the Sapphire & Steel audio drama The Passenger. He also provided the voice of the guildmaster in the Xbox video game Fable and the PC update Fable: The Lost Chapters.

In his spare time he enjoys motorcycling and sailing. His burning ambition is to one day play Captain Haddock, a character from The Adventures of Tintin whom he resembles.
