Hoffmanns's woodcreeper (Dendrocolaptes hoffmannsi) is a Vulnerable species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae.

Hoffmanns's, the black-banded, and the planalto woodcreeper (D. platyrostris) are very closely related, and several authors have suggested that they are conspecific.

Juveniles are similar to adults but more reddish above and more ochraceous below with variable amounts of barring and streaking on their underparts.

When following ant swarms it perches on vertical trunks within 2 m (7 ft) of the ground and sallies from there to pick prey from vegetation.

[5] Hoffmanns's woodcreeper appears to breed in the late dry and early wet seasons of September to November.

"[5] The IUCN originally assessed Hoffmanns's woodcreeper as being of Least Concern but since 2012 has classed it as Vulnerable.

"The primary threat to this species is accelerating deforestation within its restricted range in the Amazon basin.

It is thought to be highly sensitive to human disturbance, and its natural rarity and preference for primary forest are likely to make it particularly susceptible to threats.
