Mark Allin Hodson (29 December 1907 – 23 January 1985) was an Anglican bishop in the latter half of the 20th century.[1]

Educated at University College London and ordained in 1931, he began his career with a curacy at St Dunstan, Stepney [2] after which he was Missioner at St Nicholas Perivale then Rector of Poplar. In 1955 he was appointed Bishop suffragan of Taunton.[3] In May 1956, he was appointed Rector of Dinder and a Prebendary of Wells Cathedral (remaining Bishop of Taunton).[4] Translated to Hereford in 1961,[5] he retired in 1973 but continued to serve the church as an honorary assistant bishop within the Diocese of London until his death on 23 January 1985,[6] aged 77.
