Terence Hogan (16 June 1931 – 15 January 1995), also known as Terry "Lucky Tel" Hogan and Harry Booth, was an English professional criminal and notorious figure in the London underworld in the 1950s and 1960s. He took part in the 1952 Eastcastle Street mailbag robbery in which £287,000 (equivalent to £10.4 million in 2025) was stolen from a post office van leaving Paddington station. Hogan was a member of the infamous "Bowler Hat Gang", who dressed up as city gents to execute the robbery of an armoured payroll truck at London's Heathrow Airport in 1962, and a short time later, was believed to be tied to the Great Train Robbery (1963) under his alias Harry Booth.
