William Harold "Hogi" Hogaboam (born May 9, 1949) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey centre. His professional career began in 1970–71 as a member of the Central Hockey League's Omaha Knights, as he played in 63 games, scoring 12 goals, 30 points, and 18 assists. The following year in Omaha he greatly improved his offensive output, scoring 30 goals, 82 points, and 52 assists.

In 1972–73, Hogaboam played two games in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the expansion Atlanta Flames, before being traded to the Detroit Red Wings for veteran Leon Rochefort at the end of November. He played four games for Detroit that season, but spent the majority of the season with the Virginia Wings of the American Hockey League (AHL). In 1973–74 he appeared in 47 games for the Red Wings, scoring 18 goals and 23 assists for 41 points, and 60 games the following year, with little increase of production.

Late in the 1975–76 season, Hogaboam was traded to the Minnesota North Stars for Dennis Hextall. Hogaboam was named the team's captain the next year and scored 25 points. After another two years in the North Stars' organization, Hogaboam was sent back to the Red Wings, where most of his playing time was spent in the minors. In 1982–83, Hogaboam played his final pro season with the Adirondack Red Wings of the AHL.

Hogaboam a Dutch-Canadian, was born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. He now lives in Kelowna, British Columbia and works at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club.
