Lee James Stephen Hodson (born 2 October 1991) is a professional footballer who plays for Kilmarnock.

Hodson is a defender, and plays primarily as a right-back, but has had spells at left back and as a wingback during his career. He made his first team debut for Watford in May 2009 against Derby County, before playing in the majority of Watford's games in the 2009–10 season, during which he earned a three-year professional contract.
