Hans Georg Hofmann (26 September 1873 – 31 January 1942) was a German military officer under the German Empire and the Weimar Republic. He joined the Nazi Party paramilitary organization, the Sturmabteilung (SA), and rose to become an SA-Obergruppenführer in Nazi Germany. He was also a Nazi politician, serving in the Reichstag and as a Regierungspräsident (District President) and State Secretary in the state government of Bavaria. He died during the Second World War and a post-war denazification tribunal posthumously classified him as an "offender".
