Sir William Vallance Douglas Hodge  (; 17 June 1903 – 7 July 1975 G) was a  geometer.

Works
He discovered deep topological relations between algebraic and differential geometry. This is an area of harmonics now called Hodge theory. It is used in manifolds. It had big sway in academic geometry for several generations of mathematics education.
