Nick Hudson (born 7 October 1983 in Sydney) is a retired Australian rower.
Hudson started rowing at The King's School, Parramatta and stroked their First VIII in 2000 to a 5th placing at the AAGPS Head of the River.
He was part of the successful First VIII in 2001, along with fellow future Australian Representatives Matt Ryan and Sam Loch, that won at the AAGPS Head of the River. The crew went on to win the Barrington Cup at the National Championships and the Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta later that year.
Hudson competed for Sydney University Boat Club and first represented Australia in 2003 at the Nations Cup (now World Under 23 Championships) in Belgrade, Serbia. Hudson was part of the Quad Scull with Eugene Arendsen, Henry Gundry and Tom Westgarth that won the Gold Medal. In 2004 the Nations Cup was known as the World Under 23 Regatta and Hudson was again a member of the Australian Quad Scull, this time winning the Bronze Medal.
Five years later, Hudson made his debut in the Australian senior team, winning a Silver Medal at the 2009 World Rowing Championships in Poznan, Poland. Hudson again made the A Final the following year at the 2010 World Rowing Championships at Lake Karapiro, New Zealand. Racing in the Men's Double Scull with Jared Bidwell, the crew placed fifth.
At the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled, Slovenia, Hudson competed in the Men's Single Scull giving him senior National representation across the full range of sculling boats in the space of just 3 years. He placed 18th.
