Philip Henry Hoffman (July 28, 1827 – April 17, 1924) was an American tailor, banker, and building owner in Morristown, New Jersey.
In July 1863, Hoffman was one of the purchasers of the historic Arnold's Tavern, in which he established men's tailor shop and dry goods store, P. H. Hoffman & Son.
In the spring of 1886, after the death of the building's co-owner, Hoffman "decided to remove the old building, and [erect] in its stead [the] Hoffman Building," a "more modern" building which was completed by 1896.
He was a member of the New Jersey Historical Society, the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and Morristown Board of Education.
