Hawley is a town in Clay County, Minnesota, United States, along the Buffalo River. The population was 2,219 at the 2020 census. The town went through six quick name changes after 1871 until, in 1872, it was finally named after Thomas Hawley Canfield, an officer in the Northern Pacific Railway, which laid out the town.


General Custer visited the town in 1876. The incident was recalled in a short film entitled Incident at Hawley by WCCO Television in Minneapolis that aired during America's bicentennial year of 1976. In 2007, the town started an ad campaign called "Hawley Would" (a homophonic play on words of "Hollywood").


The campaign focuses on both the small-town atmosphere of Hawley and its proximity to the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area; Hawley is 22 miles from downtown Fargo. Hawley was at one time settled by a colony of immigrants from Yeovil, Somerset; among these was Elisabeth Chant, later to become a painter in Minneapolis.
