The Hudson Greater Eight was an automobile produced in 1931, 1932 and 1933 and were part of the firm's T-Series of automobiles. The name Greater Eight followed the 1930 models, which Hudson named the Greater Hudson for its engineering and styling advances.

Greater Eights were built upon a 119 inch (3022 mm) wheelbase and received Hudson's first attempts at having a softer, less rigid styling. The Greater Eight also had fine mesh grille-work that set it apart from other contemporary marques.

Greater Eights for 1932 received new, more streamlined styling. The cars were easily recognizable by their uniquely styled rounded-triangle shaped headlights and parking lights, which mimicked the shape of Hudson's triangle logo.

For model year 1933 the car was renamed the Hudson Pacemaker Standard Eight.
