Nicolas Hodges (born 1970 in London) is a British pianist and composer. He specializes in avant garde music. He was educated at Christ Church Cathedral School, Oxford, Winchester College, and the University of Cambridge.

Hodges studied the piano with Robert Bottone at Winchester, and subsequently with Susan Bradshaw and Sulamita Aronovsky; he studied composition with Michael Finnissy and Robin Holloway, but now concentrates on performing and teaching.

Many composers have written works for Hodges to perform, notably Elliot Carter (Dialogues for Piano and Orchestra, 2003), James Clarke, Michael Finnissy, and Konrad Boehmer.

Hodges has recorded music by many contemporary and recent composers. His first CD was of the complete piano works of Bill Hopkins, and he has also recorded music by Adams, Finnissy, Birtwistle, Connolly, Ferneyhough, Carter, Boehmer, and many others.

Since April 2005 Hodges has been Professor of Piano at the Musikhochschule, Stuttgart. He is married to the singer Kirsten Blaise, and they have a son.
