Philipp Heinrich Konstantin Hoffmann (born January 13, 1723 in Herborn , † December 15, 1784 in Elberfeld ) was the mayor of Elberfeld.
Hoffmann was born the son of the Herborn businessman Johann Ludwig Hoffmann (1699–1724) and his wife Maria Elisabeth Bödicker. He himself came to Elberfeld as a shopkeeper and married Helena from the Dörnen (1716–1789) there on January 23, 1745, with whom he had seven children. Three years later, on December 10, 1748, he acquired citizenship in Elberfeld.

After a year in office, he became a city judge in 1772. He was then proposed one last time as mayor in 1781 without being elected.
