Hosier is an occupational surname. It originates from either the Old English word "hosa", meaning a maker or seller of legwear, or from the French word "heuse", later "hosier", meaning a maker of footwear. The modern surname appears to derive from the English meaning but uses the French spelling. Notable people with the surname include:

  • Edward Hosier (died 1571), English politician
  • Francis Hosier (1673–1727), British Royal Navy officer
  • "Black Harry" Hosier (c. 1750–1806), a black Methodist preacher during the Second Great Awakening
  • Gerald D. Hosier, American lawyer
  • John Hosier (1928–2000), English musician
  • Tom Hosier (born 1942), American football coach
