Leopold Hofmann (also Ludwig Hoffman, Leopold Hoffman, Leopold Hoffmann) (August 14 1738– March 17 1793) was an Austrian composer of classical music. Hofmann was the son of a highly-educated civil servant, and at the age of seven became a chorister in the chapel of the Empress Elisabeth Christine, where his choral director and teacher was very likely František Tůma. He was also a student later on of Georg Christoph Wagenseil. His studies included at various points violin, harpsichord and composition.
