Robert Hodgson, FRS, DD, MA (c. 1773 – 9 October 1844)[1] was Dean of Carlisle from 1820 to 1844.[2]

He was the son of Robert Hodgson, of Congleton, and Mildred (née Porteus). He was a close relative (by marriage on his father's side and by blood on his mother's side) of Beilby Porteus, Bishop of London. Hodgson wrote a biography of Porteus.[3]

Hodgson was educated at Macclesfield School and Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he graduated BA as 14th Wrangler in 1795.[4] He was rector of St George's, Hanover Square for over forty years, from 1803 until his death in 1844.[5]

Hodgson married Mary Tucker on 23 February 1804. Their daughter Henrietta Mildred Hodgson was a great-grandmother of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.[6]
