Hudson Swafford (born September 9, 1987) is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour.

Swafford was born in Lakeland, Florida. He played his college golf at the University of Georgia and turned professional after graduating in 2011. He joined the Nationwide Tour in 2012 and picked up his first victory at the Stadion Classic at UGA on May 6, shooting a course record 62 in the final round.
