Arthur ("Aute") Hoffmann (10 December 1887 – 6 April 1932) was a German athlete.

[1] 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.

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.
