The Theosophical Society in America (Hargrove) was an organization that developed from the Theosophical Society in America.

In 1895 a division occurred between the Theosophical Society Adyar and the Theosophical Society in America. After William Quan Judge's death, Ernest T. Hargrove became president. In 1898 was elected officially president of the TS. Hargrove lost all his competences as a result. Hargrove disagreed with Tingley's election as president and formed the Theosophical Society in America (Hargrove). A.H. Spencer and later Hargrove became president of this new organization. The society was oriented towards WQ Judge's principles, and their headquarters were located in New York City. The society was renamed to "The Theosophical Society" in 1908. In 1906 or 1907 the Theosophical Society in America (Hargrove) gave Robert Crosbie a deed of foundation to found a lodge in Los Angeles. Hargrove can thus be seen as an obstetrician to the United Lodge of Theosophists.

The Theosophical Society in America (Hargrove) published the journal Theosophical Quarterly (1903-1938). Hargrove died in 1939.
