George Henry Hodgson (25 January 1817–c. 1848) was an English Royal Navy officer and polar explorer. He fought in the First Opium War (1839-1842) where he distinguished himself in combat. He later served under Captain Francis Crozier as Second Lieutenant aboard HMS Terror on the 1845 Franklin Expedition, which sought to chart unexplored areas of the Canadian Arctic, find the Northwest Passage, and carry out scientific observations. All personnel of the expedition, including Hodgson, perished in what is now Nunavut, Canada. Hodgson is the great-great-uncle of Queen Elizabeth II through her mother.
