Richard Hodgson (1804, in Wimpole Street, Marylebone, Central London – 4 May 1872, in Chingford, Essex) was an English publisher and astronomer.

Educated at Lewes, Hodgson worked for some years at a banking-house in Lombard Street. In 1834 he joined Boys & Graves to form Hodgson, Boys & Graves.[1] In 1836 he formed with Henry Graves the publishing company Hodgson & Graves.[2] In 1839 their company founded The Art Journal. In 1841 Hodgson retired from publishing to work on daguerreotype. In the late 1840s he created the Hawkwood estate.[3] After a number of years of achieving considerable success in daguerrotypy, he worked on telescopic and microscopic observations.

According to his obituary in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society:[4]
