Nathan Pennypacker Stauffer (January 1, 1875 – June 5, 1959)[1][2][3] was an American college football player and coach and physician.

He served as the head football coach at Dickinson College from 1896 to 1899, at Pennsylvania Military College—now known as Widener University—from 1900 to 1901, and at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) from 1909 to 1911, compiling a career college football coaching record of 52–31–5.

[4] Stauffer was the first head football coach at Dickinson College[5] in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and he held that position for four seasons, from 1896 until 1899.

[7] Dickinson played football as far back as 1885, but no official coach was kept on record prior to Stauffer.

He headed the Ear, Nose, and Throat Department at Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia for 25 years.
