Sidney Charles Hudson (January 3, 1915 – October 10, 2008) was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Washington Senators (1940–42, 1946–52) and Boston Red Sox (1952–54). He batted and threw right-handed. He was born in Coalfield, Tennessee.

In a 12-season career, Hudson posted a 104–152 record with 734 strikeouts and a 4.28 ERA in 2,181 innings pitched. Hudson's career was interrupted by three years (1943–45) of military service during World War II. A veteran of the United States Army Air Forces, he served in the Pacific Theater of Operations and attained the rank of sergeant.

Following his pitching career, he scouted for the Red Sox from 1955 through 1960, then joined the expansion edition of the Senators in 1961 as the team's first pitching coach. He spent three different terms (1961 through April 1965; 1968 through 1972; and mid-1975 through 1978) in that role for the franchise as the Senators, and after it moved in 1972, the Texas Rangers. In between those assignments, Hudson served the team as a minor league pitching instructor.

After leaving professional baseball, he was a pitching coach for Baylor University's varsity baseball team.
