We consider a free hydrogen atom composed of a spin-$${\frac{1}{2}}$$ nucleus and a spin-$${\frac{1}{2}}$$ electron in the standard model of non-relativistic QED. We study the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian associated with this system at a fixed total momentum. For small enough values of the fine-structure constant, we prove that the ground state is unique. This result reflects the hyperfine structure of the hydrogen atom ground state.
