Hopson (also known as Hopson Plantation) is an unincorporated community located in Coahoma County, Mississippi south of Clarksdale and U.S. Route 61 along U.S. Route 49.

In 1944 the Hopson Planting Company produced the first crop of cotton to be entirely planted, harvested, and baled by machine (a historical marker located near the community commemorates this).

A Mississippi Blues Trail marker is located in the community indicating the contributions of Joe Willie "Pinetop Perkins" as a blues musician while working as a tractor driver for the Hopson Planting Company.
