Hargrave Jennings (1817-1890) was a British Freemason and amateur student of comparative religion. In several voluminous works, Jennings argued that the origin of all religion is to be sought in phallic worship of the Sun and fire.

Jennings's works include:

• Indian Religions, or Results of the Mysterious Buddhism (1858)
• Curious Things of the Outside World: Last Fire (1861)
• The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries (1870)
• Live Lights and Dead Lights (1873), One of the Thirty, a Strange History (1873)
• The Obelisk: Notices of the Origin, Purpose and History of Obelisks (1877)
• Childishness and Brutality of the Time (1883)
• Phallicism, Celestial and Terrestrial, Heathen and Christian (1884)
• Charon: Sermons from the Styx: a Posthumous Work by Frederick the Great (1886).
