Wyatt Cephus Hedrick (1888, Pittsylvania County, Virginia - 1964) was an American architect, engineer, and developer most active in Texas and the American south. Starting in practice in Fort Worth in 1922, opening his own practice in 1925, Hedrick was responsible for many of the tallest buildings in the city and several buildings now on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1925 he married Mildred Sterling, and in 1931 his father-in-law, Ross S. Sterling, became governor of Texas. Hedrick worked mainly in a stripped-Classical style. With his extensive university and government work, at one time his firm was the third-largest in the United States.
