Herbert Melville Abbott (30 April 1903 – 5 October 1973) was an Australian international rugby union player.
Born in Beaconsfield, Tasmania, Abbott played his early rugby with Manly in Sydney, before heading down to Victoria and joining the Melbourne RUFC in 1925. He was a Victoria interstate representative.
Abbott, having returned to Manly, earned a New South Wales call up in 1928 for their visit to New Zealand, which retrospectively has come to be considered a full national team tour. He featured as a back rower in three uncapped tour matches, against Wanganui, Southland and Marlborough.
