Desmond MacCarthy was a British literary critic and journalist; he was a member of the Cambridge Apostles, the intellectual secret society, from 1896.

In 1917 he joined the New Statesman as drama critic, and in 1920 became its literary editor. He wrote a weekly column under the pen-name "The Affable Hawk". Later, in 1928, he became a literary critic for the Sunday Times, and several volumes of his collected criticism were published.
