Ffion Hague, Lady Hague of Richmond (born 1968) is a Welsh broadcaster, author and former civil servant, who first became well known as the wife of conservative politician William Hague. Born Ffion Jenkins in Cardiff, she is a native Welsh speaker and hit the news when she was selected to teach the language to her future husband when he was Secretary of State for Wales.

Because of the embarrassment caused by the previous Welsh secretary John Redwood, who was unable to sing the Welsh national anthem, it was decided that his successor should learn the words. They were married on 19 December 1997, at the Palace of Westminster, and currently reside in Richmond, North Yorkshire.
