Hedley Grant Pearson Chapman (born 27 April 1949) is an Australian politician.

Born in Adelaide, South Australia, Chapman was educated at the University of Adelaide and worked as a marketing executive in the oil industry and a self-employed management consultant prior to gaining Liberal Party pre-selection for the federal Division of Kingston in the House of Representatives. Elected as part of Malcolm Fraser's landslide win, Chapman served in the House of Representatives until his defeat at the 1983 federal election. He returned to federal politics in 1987 as a member of the Australian Senate representing South Australia, and was defeated at the 2007 election where Chapman was third on the SA Liberal ticket but only two Liberal candidates were elected.

In September 2010, Chapman was elected unopposed as President of the Liberal Party of Australia (South Australian Division) and has been re-elected unopposed in 2011 and 2012.
