Johnny Hodges (John Cornelius) (Cambridge, 25 luglio 1907 – New York, 11 maggio 1970) è stato un sassofonista statunitense. Suonò principalmente il contralto, ma sporadicamente anche il soprano. Fu il principale solista dell'orchestra di Duke Ellington nella quale suonò dal 1928 fino agli ultimi suoi giorni di vita, esclusa una parentesi di quattro anni, dal 1951 al 1955, in cui si cimentò nella direzione di una propria orchestra. Tra i maggiori solisti e sassofonisti di jazz sviluppò uno stile originale, nato dal blues, fortemente lirico, caratterizzato dall'uso del glissando.
