The Frances Hodgkins Fellowship, established in 1962, is one of New Zealand's premier arts residencies. The list of past fellows includes many of New Zealand's most notable artists.
The position is based at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. The fellowship was created to encourage painters and sculptors in the practice and advancement of their art, to associate them with life in the University, and at the same time to foster an interest in the arts within the University.
The Frances Hodgkins Fellowship is named after the New Zealand painter Frances Hodgkins (1869–1947) who was born in Dunedin.
