"Terry Hicks" (born 1945) is an Australian man who is known for his campaign for his son David Hicks/David, who was convicted by the United States of America Guantanamo Military Commission under the Military Commissions Act of 2006 on charges of providing material support for terrorism.

Terry Hicks' campaign included staying in a Guantanamo Bay-sized cage on a New York pavement and outside a convention centre in Adelaide, confronting Prime Minister John Howard on talkback radio and being interviewed by al-Jazeera.

In 2006 Hicks was nominated by Australian Capital Territory/ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope for the Australian Father of the Year award. A documentary, The President Versus David Hicks, was made about Hicks' attempts to discover what happened to his son.

Hicks is married with two children.

If they decided he was, he'd have the full rights under the Geneva Conventions: the right to call witnesses, the right of appeal and the right to view all the evidence against him. In a military commission, no enemy combatant has these rights and the prosecution can bring evidence, hearsay and statements taken by coercion.

He also finds it hard when others around him leave and he stays.
