Philip Henry Hoffman (July 28, 1827 – April 17, 1924) was an American tailor, banker, and building owner in Morristown, New Jersey.

In July 1863, Hoffman was one of the purchasers of the historic Arnold's Tavern,[2] in which he established men's tailor shop and dry goods store, P. H. Hoffman & Son.[3][4]

In the spring of 1886, after the death of the building's co-owner, Hoffman "decided to remove the old building, and [erect] in its stead [the] Hoffman Building,"[5][6] a "more modern" building[7] which was completed by 1896.

He was a member of the New Jersey Historical Society, the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and Morristown Board of Education.
