Paul Hofmann (24 August 1901 – 16 October 1980) was a Nazi Party official who served briefly as Gauleiter of Gau Magdeburg-Anhalt. After attending elementary school and high school in Dresden through 1918, he studied at a teacher's college (Lehrerseminar). However, in 1919 he enlisted in the Iron Division of the Freikorps and was deployed in the Baltic States campaign. From 1920 to October 1930 he was a soldier in the Reichswehr. Hofmann left military service on 31 October 1930, and on 1 November he joined the Nazi Party (membership number 359,542). On 1 December he became Ortsgruppenleiter (Local Group Leader) in Dessau. At the same time, he was named as the Gau Business Manager for Gau Magdeburg-Anhalt. In 1931 he was appointed Gau Organization Leader and Gau Propaganda Leader. The next year, he was named Deputy Gauleiter. On 15 July 1932 when Gauleiter Wilhelm Friedrich Loeper was temporarily promoted to the new position of Landesinspekteur overseeing several Gaue, Hofmann succeeded him as Gauleiter.
