Stanley Hudson Dodwell, CBE was a British businessperson and politician who was active in Hong Kong. He served as the chairman of Dodwell & Co. and member of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council of Hong Kong.

S. H. Dodwell was a nephew of George Benjamin Dodwell, founder of Dodwell & Co., which was one of the leading British merchant firms in the late 19th and early 20th century. He joined the company in January 1897 and began with a salary of £30 per annum. In 1899 Dodwell became the Company's representative on the Baltic Shipping Exchange, responsible for arranging tonnage to fill Dodwell & Company's turns on the New York berth. He took charge of the firm from his uncle in 1912 and remained as chairman until 1953.

Besides his own firm, he was also on the board of many local leading companies. He was a director of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and was elected chairman in 1912. He was also chairman of the Union Insurance Society of Canton and the British Traders' Insurance Co., and member of the Consulting Committee of Shewan Tomes & Co. among others.

He was an unofficial member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong on multiple occasions for decades. In June 1917 he was appointed an unofficial member on the Legislative Council during Henry Pollock's leave, again in October 1918 for Edward Shellim, and as a substitute for Robert Gordon Shewan in March 1919 and January 1920. He again served on the Legislative Council from 1936 to 1941. In April 1936, he was appointed for a four-year term on William Shenton's resignation and was reappointed in April 1940.
