Arthur Hauffe (20 December 1892 – 22 July 1944) was a German general during World War II and commanded the XIII Army Corps.

While Hauffe was chief of the German Army Mission in Romania, he signed on 30 August 1941 with General Nicolae Tătăranu of the Romanian War Headquarters the "Agreement for the Security, Administration, and Economic Exploitation of the Territory between the Dniester and the Bug and the Bug-Dnieper."

The agreement made clear that the ultimate goal was to “cleanse” the relevant territories of their Jewish inhabitants.

The Lvov-Sandomierz Offensive was a major Red Army operation to force the German troops from Ukraine and Eastern Poland which was launched in mid-July 1944.

During this military engagement, General Hauffe failed to prepare for the withdrawal of his troops when they were threatened by encirclement.
