James Eric Hodder (December 29, 1940 – March 2, 2021) was a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Port au Port in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly from 1975 to 1993, and again from 2003 to 2007.[1][2] He started as a member of the Liberal Party; however, in 1985, he crossed the floor to join Brian Peckford's Progressive Conservative government.

A graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland with bachelor's degrees in history and education, he was a high school teacher and principal in Stephenville before entering politics.[1] His father Walter also served in the Newfoundland assembly.[3]

He retired from the legislature for health reasons in January 2007,[4] and was succeeded by Tony Cornect in a by-election.[5] He died in St. John's on March 2, 2021.[6]
