Rogier Alexander Hofman (born 5 September 1986)[1] is a Dutch field hockey player. He was part of the Dutch national team for the 2007 World Championships in Mönchengladbach, where the team finished in a disappointing seventh place. He won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympics, placing fourth in 2016.[2][3]

Hofman took up field hockey aged eight. In 2012, together with teammate Tim Jenniskens he launched the Sport Helps foundation, which organises sports events for disabled or seriously ill children.[3]
