Karol Hoffmann (born 1 June 1989) is a Polish triple jumper. He won a silver medal at the 2016 European Championships and placed 12th at the 2016 Olympics.
Hoffmann's father Zdzisław won the 1983 world title in the triple jump and still holds the Polish national record. Karol has a tattoo of that record on his leg. He first played football, but at the age of 10 had a bad hit to his nose. Doctors advised him to avoid any further nose injuries, so he changed to athletics.
