James "Jimmy" Hodson (5 September 1880 – 27 February 1938) was an English professional football full back and manager who played in the Football League for Oldham Athletic, Bury and Brentford. He later managed Guildford United and Belgian club Royal Berchem Sport.
Hodson began his career in his native northwest with Division One side Bury.
Hodson moved to Oldham Athletic and played in the club's very first Football League match in September 1907. He had a successful time with the club, winning promotion to Division One in the 1909–10 season, reaching the FA Cup semi-finals in 1912–13 and finishing second in Division One in 1914–15. The outbreak of the First World War in August 1914 saw competitive football suspended for the duration of the war after the close of the 1914–15 season, bringing Hodson's time with the Latics to an end. He made 252 league appearances and scored one goal during his time at Boundary Park.
