George Harris Hodgson (4 May 1839 – 15 April 1917) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of John George Hodgson, he was born at Thanet in May 1839. He was educated at Harrow School,[1] before going up to Trinity College, Oxford.[2] A keen cricketer, Hodgson did not feature in first-class cricket for Oxford University Cricket Club, but did make four first-class appearances for the Gentlemen of Kent from 1858 to 1861.[3] He scored 74 runs in his four matches at an average of 18.50, with a high score of 32.[4] With his roundarm fast bowling he took 2 wickets.[5][6]

Hodgson graduated from Oxford in 1866 with a master's degree. He later served as secretary to the Clergy Mutual Assurance Society.[1] Hodgson died at Hythe in April 1917.[5]
