In this paper we study quaternion‐Kähler manifolds endowed with an isometric S 1 ‐action. We consider the corresponding moment map μ and prove that the only compact quaternion‐Kähler manifold with positive scalar curvature which admits an isometric circle action free on μ −1 (0) is the quaternionic projective space H P n .
