Trevor Hamilton (born 1982), is a Northern Irish murderer.

He abducted and murdered 65-year-old Attracta Harron, a recently-retired librarian, when she was returning from Mass in Murlog, Lifford, County Donegal on 11 December 2003. Four months earlier he had been released from prison after serving a sentence for a violent rape and other offences, including threats to kill.

Attracta Harron's body was found on 5 April 2004, four months after she was last seen alive, hidden in a river bank less than 50 yards from Hamilton's home.

Hamilton was found guilty of her murder on 12 April 2006. The trial judge, when sentencing him on 4 August 2006, recommended that he should never be released from prison. This was the first time that such a recommendation had been made in Northern Ireland, although these recommendations had been made almost 30 times previously (by both politicians and judges) in England and Wales.
