Hoffmann van Heerden Maritz (born 29 March 1989) is a South African rugby union player with the Pumas. He is a utility back that can play as full-back, winger or centre.

He started his career playing at youth level for the Griffons at the 2007 Under-18 Craven Week and at Under-19 level the following season. He then spent the next two years playing for Free State Cheetahs at Under-19 and Under-21 level.

In 2011, he had a short spell at the Golden Lions, where he made his first class debut in a 2011 Vodacom Cup match against Western Province, which ended in an 18-18 draw.

For the 2011 Currie Cup Premier Division season, he joined the Leopards, where he quickly established himself as a first team regular.

He joined Nelspruit-based side Pumas for 2015.

He was selected for the South African Barbarians (North) team against England that toured South Africa as part of the 2012 mid-year rugby test series.

He played Varsity Cup rugby for the NWU Pukke in 2013, which led to his inclusion in the 2013 South African Universities team.

Later in 2013, he was included in a South Africa President's XV team to play in the 2013 IRB Tbilisi Cup, but later withdrew due to a knee injury.
