Hargreaves Associates is the landscape architectural firm headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The firm planned the grounds surrounding the Clinton Presidential Center. The senior principal of Hargreaves Associates is George Hargreaves.

Hargreaves' firm redesigned twenty-eight acres of reclaimed brownfield at the Clinton Library site. Hargreaves created gigantic grassy polygonal mounds between the Library and the I-30 overpass, determined the alignment of streets and sidewalks on the site, built terraces outside the archival complex, and also made plans for the contemplative grove and Scholars' Garden.
