Naomi Hobson (born 1979) is an Aboriginal Australian artist of southern Kaantju and Umpila heritage from Lockhart River, Cape York Peninsula, Queensland.

Hobson paints her father's country of the East coastal regions of Cape York Northern Queensland.

Hobson's visual art is an abstract interpretation of her culture and the social and political history of her family and the ancestors before her.
