Erwin "Jimmy" Hoffer (born 14 April 1987) is an Austrian football striker who currently plays for Karlsruher SC in the 2. Bundesliga. He also plays for the Austrian national team.
Hoffer started his professional career at 17 with VfB Admira Wacker Mödling where he played from 2004 to 2006 in the first team.
After a two years spell, he moved to Rapid Wien where he was a replacement for Muhammet Akagündüz, who left for Kayserispor. In his first season, Hoffer made 21 appearance and scored four. He won the Austrian Football Bundesliga title with Rapid in the 2007–08 season and scored a hat-trick in their 7–0 victory against Red Bull Salzburg.
On 28 July 2009, Napoli have signed the striker on a five-year deal, for €5 million. He scored his first goal with the partenopei on 16 August 2009 in the Coppa Italia match Napoli-Salernitana (3–0).
After making eight appearances and scoring none, Hoffer made it clear he was unhappy with the lack of playing time he endured at Napoli and eventually joined German side 1. FC Kaiserslautern on loan. The deal did not include a buy option. Following his move to Kaiserslautern, Hoffer hoped he could have more of an impact in Germany. Hoffer made his debut for the club in a cup match against VfL Osnabrück and his scored a brace in a 2–2 draw against Hoffenheim on 18 September 2010. Since scoring his first goal, Hoffer played well and made 24 appearances, scoring five times.
