Halmer Hull Emmons (November 22, 1814 – May 14, 1877) was a United States federal judge.
Born in Keeseville, New York, Emmons read law to enter the bar. He was in private practice in Keeseville, New York and Essex, New York in 1837, in Cleveland, Ohio from 1837 to 1838, and then in Detroit, Michigan until 1870.
