Arthur Hoffmann (December 10, 1887 - April, 1931) was a German athlete. He competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.
Hoffmann was a member of the silver medal German medley relay team. He was the first runner of the four-man squad, running 200 metres and followed by Hans Eicke, Otto Trieloff, and Hanns Braun. The team dominated the first round, defeating the Dutch team easily with a time of 3:43.2. In the final, though, the Germans could not match the American team. Hoffmann was seven yards behind the leading American and one behind the second-place Hungarian when he finished his 200. The German team moved into second place at the very end of the race, however, giving Hoffmann a silver medal.
Hoffman also competed in the 100 and 200 metre races, placing second in his first round heats in both and not advancing.
