Kathy Hoffman (born 1985/1986)[1] is an American educator, speech-language pathologist, and politician who served as the Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction from 2019 to 2023. A member of the Democratic Party, she took her oath of office with her hand placed on top of the book Too Many Moose, which holds special significance for her and her former students.[2][3]

Hoffman narrowly lost reelection in 2022.

In February 2023, Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College announced Hoffman would join the college to lead special education initiatives.[4]
