Hugh Wallace Pinnock (1934 – 2000) was a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1977 until his death.

Pinnock graduated from University of Utah in 1958, where he became a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity [http://www2.sigmachi.org/foundation/significant_sigs.phtml?strLetter=P List of Significant Sigs] . When Pinnock was called as the General President of the LDS Sunday School in 1979 he became the first person since David O. McKay in 1934 to serve simultaneously as a general authority and the head of the church's Sunday School. He served as the president of the Sunday School from 1979 to 1986 and from 1989 to 1992. He is the only head of the LDS Sunday School to have served two nonconsecutive terms.

Pinnock was born in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Prior to his call to the First Quorum of the Seventy in 1977 he served as a bishop, regional representative, president of the Pennsylvania Harrisburg Mission, and a member of the General Priesthood Committee on home teaching.

Pinnock served in the Presidency of the Seventy from 1986 to 1989. He died in December 2000, at which time he was serving in the presidency of the North America Southwest Area of the church.
