John Seymour Hodgkins (2 January 1916  - 16 August 1988) was an English cricketer active in the late 1930s, mid 1940s and early 1950s. Born at West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, Hodgkins was a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler.

Hodgkins made his debut in first-class cricket for Nottinghamshire against Lancashire in the 1938 County Championship,[1] having been called up to replace the injured Arthur Jepson.[2] He was excluded from service in World War II due a hearing impediment, which allowed him to play wartime county cricket.[2] His next appearance in first-class cricket came after the war in 1946 against Surrey, before playing a third and final first-class match against Yorkshire in the 1951 County Championship,[1] a match which also served as Jepson's benefit match, one which Hodgkins played in by way of an invite.[2] He scored 109 runs in his three matches, top-scoring with 44,[3] while with the ball he took three wickets.[4]

He died at Stanton-on-the-Wolds, Nottinghamshire on 16 August 1988.
