As a youngster, Edwin Hubble loved reading books by Jules Verne, especially 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This author had a significant impact on Hubble's life.

He was offered a position at the Mount Wilson Observatory by George Ellery Hale but had to defer this appointment till after WW1. So Hale would have had an influence on Hubble.

But as to his inspiration in astronomy and cosmology, I can find no record of a mentor. He broke new ground so would have been a mentor to many and his work even influenced Einstein.
