Hodge's Cove is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is southeast of Clarenville. Hodge's Cove was settled in 1861 and was first referred to as Hodge's Hole. It is not known for sure, but the settlement's name may have come from visitors who made short trips to the area to cut wood. As early as the 1840s, fisherman from Grates Cove in Trinity Bay came to Southwest Arm looking for wood. The way office was established in 1884 and the first way master was James Drover. It had a population of 261 in 2016.
