Hodge (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played in first-class cricket during the 1740s. He is recorded playing for Long Robin's XI against Richard Newland's XI at the Artillery Ground on Wednesday, 26 June 1745. Long Robin's XI won by "over 70 runs".

As Hodge had established his reputation by 1745, he must have been active for some years previously and his career probably began in the 1730s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references to Hodge.
