Sharon Hodgson (born 1 April 1966) is a British politician serving as Member of Parliament (MP) for Washington and Sunderland West, previously Gateshead East and Washington West, since 2005.
A member of the Labour Party, she has chaired the Finance Committee since 2023.
Hodgson was born in Gateshead, County Durham and was educated locally at Greenwell Junior High School and Heathfield Senior High School, where she obtained eight O-Levels.
After leaving school, she worked as an accounts clerk in the Team Valley, then attended Newcastle College and the Trades Union Congress Academy in London.
Hodgson later worked for Northern Rock in Gosforth, and then as a payroll and accounting clerk for local companies.
After being a full-time mother for a few years in the mid-1990s, and volunteering for the Labour Party in Stockton-on-Tees during the 1997 general election campaign, she became a party organiser in 1999.
She was elected for two years as the women's officer within the Tyne Bridge Constituency Labour Party (CLP) in 1998.
In 2000, she became the local Party organiser for two years in the Mitcham and Morden constituency, helping the sitting Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh to be re-elected at the 2001 general election.
Before her election to Parliament, Hodgson worked as Labour Link Officer for UNISON.
In 2002, she was elected as the secretary of the Mitcham and Morden CLP in the London Borough of Merton.
In 2004, Hodgson was chosen as the official Labour candidate for Gateshead East and Washington West at the 2005 general election.
Her selection followed the retirement of the sitting Labour MP Joyce Quin, and came about as a result of an all-woman shortlist.
Hodgson held the seat with a majority of 13,407 votes, and gave her maiden speech in the House of Commons on 25 May 2005.
In Parliament, she has served on several select committees since her election in 2005, including the North East Regional Committee and the Children Schools and Families Committee.
David Clelland, then MP for Tyne Bridge, was chosen in December 2006 by Labour Party members to become the candidate for the Gateshead constituency at the next general election.
Following her failure to be selected for the Gateshead seat, Hodgson announced her intention to run for selection as the Labour Party candidate for the new Washington and Sunderland West seat in September 2007, and she was selected.
In June 2009, Hodgson was promoted to the position of assistant Government Whip.
Following boundary changes, the constituency of Gateshead East and Washington West was abolished and replaced by two new seats, Gateshead and Washington and Sunderland West at the 2010 general election.
She was elected as the MP for that seat in the 2010 general election with a majority of 11,458.
In opposition, the then Leader of the Labour Party Ed Miliband, appointed Hodgson to the Shadow Children and Families Office in October 2010.

Three months later, in October 2016, she was appointed the Shadow Minister for Public Health.
