Zachary Hicks (1739 – 25 May 1771) was a Royal Navy officer, second-in-command on Lieutenant James Cook's first voyage to the Pacific and the first among Cook's crew to sight mainland Australia. A dependable officer who had risen swiftly through the ranks, Hicks conducted liaison and military duties for Cook, including command of shore parties in Rio de Janeiro and the kidnapping of a Tahitian chieftain in order to force indigenous assistance in the recovery of deserters. Hicks' quick thinking while in temporary command of HMS Endeavour also saved the lives of Cook, Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander when they were attacked by Māori in New Zealand in November 1769.

  • Zachary Hickes (Stepney, 1739 – 26 maggio 1771) è stato un ufficiale della Royal Navy, noto per essere stato il secondo in comando durante il primo viaggio del tenente James Cook nel Pacifico e il primo dell'equipaggio ad avvistare la terraferma australiana. Cook lo ricordò nei suoi diari come un ufficiale affidabile che aveva rapidamente scalato la gerarchia della Marina per le sue doti non comuni. Per il suo comandante Hickes portò a termini vari incarichi anche a terra, a Rio de Janeiro contrastando le autorità portoghesi e a Tahiti con il rapimento di un capo tahitiano, al fine di ottenere con la forza l'assistenza indigena per il recupero dei disertori. Grazie alla sua prontezza di spirito mentre si trovava al comando temporaneo della HMS Endeavour, Hickes salvò anche la vita di Cook, (it)
