Samuel Kurtz Hoffman (15 April 1902 – 26 June 1995) was an American engineer who specialised in rocket propulsion.[1]

He served as chief engineer at engine manufacturing firm Lycoming Engines and later became professor of aerospace engineering at Pennsylvania State University, his alma mater.[1]

While leading a team at North American Aviation (which later became Rocketdyne) between 1949 and 1970 he developed the F-1 engines that would power the Saturn V rocket, and later worked on the Space Shuttle Main Engine.[2][3]
