Julian Hodge Bank Limited, trading as Hodge Bank, is a bank in the United Kingdom. It is named after its founder Sir Julian Hodge. The bank was formed in 1987 and is headquartered in Cardiff, Wales.

In 1965, the Hodge Life Assurance Company was formed preceding the bank, but became a subsidiary company rebranded as Hodge Lifetime.{{cite web|title=An Introduction to Hodge Lifetime|url=http://www.hodgelifetime.co.uk/about_hodge_lifetime.html|website=Hodge Lifetime|access-date=5 April 2017}} In 2021, Hodge sold this subsidiary to the Reinsurance Group of America, and so exited the annuity and equity release business. However the bank is considering re-entering the equity release market, where it had been the longest established lender in the UK.{{cite web |url=https://www.financialreporter.co.uk/later-life/hodge-withdraws-from-equity-release-lending.html |title=Hodge withdraws from equity release lending |last=Jones |first=Rozi |website=Financial Reporter |date=4 February 2021 |access-date=26 August 2023}}
