Hubert Ginn (born January 4, 1947) is a former professional American football player. He played in the National Football League for nine seasons as a running back for the Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Colts and the Oakland Raiders. He was a member of two Super Bowl championship teams, the 1972 undefeated Dolphins and the 1976 Raiders.[1]

Ginn served as Miami's backup running back during their 1971 AFC championship season and their 1972 Super Bowl season. Three games into the 1973 season he was traded to the Colts in exchange for fullback Don Nottingham and a 6th round draft choice.[2][3] Ginn had been unhappy with his limited playing time with the Dolphins, but received even less playing time with the Colts.[4] He was waived by the Colts during the 1974 preseason and re-signed by the Dolphins.[4]
