Paul Hofer (born May 13, 1952) is an American former professional football player who was a running back for six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL).^[1] He played college football for the Ole Miss Rebels. He was a part of the 49ers' Super Bowl XVI—winning team.

Known for his hard and relentless running style, Hofer was a fan favorite despite being on poor 49ers teams in the mid to late 1970s. Hofer was a brutal, attacking runner who suffered serious knee injuries that ultimately shortened his career.^{[citation needed]} Hofer saw limited duty during the 1981 season but was placed on injured reserve before season's end; he was unable to play in the playoffs or the Super Bowl. He retired soon thereafter.^{[citation needed]}
